Warning

Experimental functions

They are not officially of the current release.
They likely will not be officially be part of the next release:
- The functions might not make use of ANY-INTEGER and ANY-NUMERICAL
- Name might change.
- Signature might change.
- Functionality might change.
- pgTap tests might be missing.
- Might need c/c++ coding.
- May lack documentation.
- Documentation if any might need to be rewritten.
- Documentation examples might need to be automatically generated.
- Might need a lot of feedback from the comunity.
- Might depend on a proposed function of pgRouting
- Might depend on a deprecated function of pgRouting

Synopsis¶

Using Dijkstra algorithm, calculate and return a cost matrix.

Signature Summary¶

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vids)
pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vids, directed)
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Signatures¶

Minimal Signature¶

The minimal signature:

Is for a directed graph.

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vid)
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Example:	Cost matrix for vertices 1, 2, 3, and 4.

SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(
    'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
    (SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5)
);
 start_vid | end_vid | agg_cost
-----------+---------+----------
         1 |       2 |        1
         1 |       3 |        6
         1 |       4 |        5
         2 |       1 |        1
         2 |       3 |        5
         2 |       4 |        4
         3 |       1 |        2

         4 |       1 |        3
         4 |       2 |        2
         4 |       3 |        1
(12 rows)

Complete Signature¶

pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(edges_sql, start_vids, directed:=true)
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Example:	Cost matrix for an undirected graph for vertices 1, 2, 3, and 4.

This example returns a symmetric cost matrix.

SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(
    'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
    (SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5),
    false
);

Description of the Signatures¶

Description of the edges_sql query for dijkstra like functions¶

edges_sql:	an SQL query, which should return a set of rows with the following columns:

Column	Type	Default	Description
id	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the edge.
source	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the first end point vertex of the edge.
target	`ANY-INTEGER`		Identifier of the second end point vertex of the edge.
cost	`ANY-NUMERICAL`		Weight of the edge (source, target) When negative: edge (source, target) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
reverse_cost	`ANY-NUMERICAL`	-1	Weight of the edge (target, source), When negative: edge (target, source) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.

Where:

ANY-INTEGER:	SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT
ANY-NUMERICAL:	SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT

Description of the parameters of the signatures¶

Parameter	Type	Description
edges_sql	`TEXT`	Edges SQL query as described above.
start_vids	`ARRAY[ANY-INTEGER]`	Array of identifiers of the vertices.
directed	`BOOLEAN`	(optional). When `false` the graph is considered as Undirected. Default is `true` which considers the graph as Directed.

Description of the return values for a Cost function¶

Returns set of (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)

Column	Type	Description
start_vid	`BIGINT`	Identifier of the starting vertex. Used when multiple starting vetrices are in the query.
end_vid	`BIGINT`	Identifier of the ending vertex. Used when multiple ending vertices are in the query.
agg_cost	`FLOAT`	Aggregate cost from `start_vid` to `end_vid`.

Examples¶

Example:	Use with tsp

SELECT * FROM pgr_TSP(
    $$
    SELECT * FROM pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix(
        'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table',
        (SELECT array_agg(id) FROM edge_table_vertices_pgr WHERE id < 5),
        false
    )
    $$,
    randomize := false
);
 seq | node | cost | agg_cost

   1 |    1 |    1 |        0
   2 |    2 |    1 |        1
   3 |    3 |    1 |        2
