####################################################################### Configuration:

• verify configuration

SELECT arcgis.check_configuration();

• set ArcGIS client ID

SELECT arcgis.set_client_id('');

• set ArcGIS client secret

SELECT arcgis.set_client_secret('');

• set ArcGIS authentication URL

SELECT arcgis.set_auth_url('');

• set ArcGIS geocode URL

SELECT arcgis.set_geocode_url('');

• remove existing configuration

SELECT arcgis.remove_configuration();

####################################################################### Usage:

• resolve address to geocoordinates

SELECT arcgis.find('<address');

Example: SELECT arcgis.find('380 New York Street Redlands CA 92373'); Example: SELECT * FROM arcgis.find('380 New York Street Redlands CA 92373');

• resolve address to geocoordinates, return address as one string

SELECT arcgis.find_return_point('

');

Example: SELECT arcgis.find_return_point('380 New York Street Redlands CA 92373');

• resolve address to geocoordinates, return x (longitude) and y (latitude) as array

SELECT arcgis.find_xy('

');

Example: SELECT arcgis.find_xy('380 New York Street Redlands CA 92373');

• resolve address to geocoordinates, return y and x as array, suitable for services like Google Maps

SELECT arcgis.find_xy('

');

Example: SELECT arcgis.find_xy('380 New York Street Redlands CA 92373');

• resolve geocoordinates to closest address

SELECT arcgis.reverseGeocode('', '');

Example: SELECT arcgis.reverseGeocode('-122.148659529', '37.3939849106'); Example: SELECT * FROM arcgis.reverseGeocode('-122.148659529', '37.3939849106');

• resolve geocoordinates to closest address, return address as string

SELECT arcgis.reverseGeocode_string('', '');

Example: SELECT arcgis.reverseGeocode_string('-122.148659529', '37.3939849106');
