verticapy.read_shp

verticapy.read_shp(path: str, schema: str | None = None, table_name: str | None = None) → vDataFrame

Ingests a SHP file. At the moment, only files located in the Vertica server can be ingested.

Parameters

path: str

Absolute path where the SHP file is located.

schema: str, optional

Schema where the SHP file will be ingested.

table_name: str, optional

Final relation name.

Returns

vDataFrame

The vDataFrame of the relation.

Examples

Let’s consider you have access to the following shape file located in the server: /shapefiles/tl_2010_us_state10.shp

You can easily ingest it in the table ‘my_table’ in the ‘my_schema’ schema:

read_shp(
    path = '/shapefiles/tl_2010_us_state10.shp',
    schema = 'my_schema',
    table_name = 'my_table',
)

The file will be parsed and store in the database. The output will be a vDataFrame.

Note

VerticaPy provides a set of geospatial functions in the verticapy.sql.geo module.
