View source for Custom Coverage Processor for Points

{{WCS Glossary
|Glossary Domain=WCS
|TermDesc=This processor extracts a subset of station point data from a data source that cannot be turned into a service by just listing table and column names. Such sources requires this kind of custom processor. It may do it's own SQL query generation, SQL query execution and data retrieval. Used in [[WCS_GetCoverage_Query|WCS GetCoverage Query]].

The CIRA/VIEWS cannot access the database directly due to firewall. The SQL query can still be compiled by with configuration, but it has to be executed via a proxy server. The CIRA/VIEWS custom processor overrides ''getcoverage'' method and does just that.

By writing a custom processor, anything can be used as a data source.
