Hello Dev list,
I’m poking around in the table looking at the GPS coordinates and found three columns, one of which doesn’t appear to be in the GUI:
latitude character varying(255),
longitude character varying(255),
coordinates text,
Is the column ‘coordinates’ a hold over from a previous version?
Hi Tim,
The “coordinates” field is the one that is used by dhis2. Those other two fields are not standard. The coordinates field is used to store also polygon data, not just coordinates for point locations.
Regards,
Jason

Thanks Jason,
Looks like ‘featuretype’ defines whether it is a polygon or a point.
Follow up Q: Is there a reason why latitude and longitude are in the demo database if they are not standard?

Hi,
correct, those two fields are obsolete - was used earlier but removed from data model, so can safely be removed, will fix later.
regards,
Lars
