Description
PostGIS layers with millions of features take quite some time to be added to the map canvas because of table feature counts, layer extents and geometry type determination.
Attached is a patch that adds an option to speed up the following PostGIS layer operations:
- The row count is determined from table statistics obtained from running the PostgreSQL table analyse function.
- Table extents are always determined with the estimated_extent PostGIS function, even if a layer filter is applied.
- If the table geometry type is unknown and is not exclusively taken from the geometry_columns table, then it is determined from the first 100 non-null geometry rows in the table. This applies to both the PostGIS Provider and the Add PostGIS Layers dialog.
This patch potential resolves the following tickets: #2394, #581
