- Transform conversion as a view, and when inserting into it, actually
insert into 3 tables: conversion_table, conversion_method and conversion_param,
so that method and parameter names are not repeated each time.
- Similarly for helmert_tranformation, insert into helmert_transformation_tabl
and coordinate_operation_method.
This reduces the db size from 6 344 704 bytes to 5 853 184 bytes, without
significant slowdown for queries.
This work mostly consists of:
- a C++ implementation of the ISO-19111:2018 / OGC Topic 2
"Referencing by coordinates" classes to represent Datums,
Coordinate systems, CRSs (Coordinate Reference Systems) and
Coordinate Operations.
- methods to convert between this C++ modeling and WKT1, WKT2
and PROJ string representations of those objects
- management and query of a SQLite3 database of CRS and Coordinate Operation definition
- a C API binding part of those capabilities
