| /** |
| * Data store capable to read and create features from a JDBC connection to a database. |
| * {@link org.apache.sis.storage.sql.SQLStore} takes a one or more tables at construction time. |
| * Each enumerated table is represented by a {@code FeatureType}. |
| * Each row in those table represents a {@code Feature} instance. |
| * Each relation defined by a foreigner key is represented by an {@code FeatureAssociationRole} |
| * to another feature (with transitive dependencies automatically resolved), and the other columns are represented |
| * by {@code AttributeType}. |
| * |
| * <p>The storage of spatial features in SQL databases is described by the |
| * <a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs">OGC Simple feature access - Part 2: SQL option</a> |
| * international standard, also known as ISO 19125-2. Implementation of geometric types and operations must |
| * be provided by the database (sometime through an extension, for example PostGIS on PostgreSQL databases). |
| * This Java package uses those provided types and operations.</p> |
| * |
| * <h2>Limitations</h2> |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>Current implementation does not scan the {@code "GEOMETRY_COLUMNS"} (from Simple Feature Access) |
| * or {@code "gpkg_content"} (from GeoPackage) tables for a default list of feature tables.</li> |
| * <li>Current implementation does not yet map geometric objects (e.g. PostGIS types).</li> |
| * <li>If a parent feature contains association to other features, those other features are created |
| * in same time than the parent feature (no lazy instantiation yet).</li> |
| * </ul> |
