+# Evaluation instructions and results
+
+We evaluated the performance of our spatial join and compared it against
+PostgreSQL+PostGIS. In the following sections, we provide instructions and
+results for the evaluation.
+
+## Setup PostgreSQL and PostGIS on Ubuntu 24.04
+
+We first install the required packages:
+
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib postgis
+sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
+```
+
+Next, we create a new database in a directory of our choice.
+
+```
+export POSTGIS_DIR=/local/data-ssd/postgis/spatialjoin
+sudo mkdir -p ${POSTGIS_DIR} && sudo chown postgres:postgres ${POSTGIS_DIR}
+sudo -u postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/initdb -D ${POSTGIS_DIR}
+sudo vim ${POSTGIS_DIR}/postgresql.conf
+EDIT: work_mem = 4MB
+EDIT: max_worker_processes = 8
+EDIT: max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 2
+EDIT: max_parallel_workers = 8
+sudo su - postgres -c "/usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/pg_ctl -D ${POSTGIS_DIR} -l logfile start"
+psql -U postgres -c "SHOW data_directory;"
+psql -U postgres -c "SHOW work_mem;"
+```
+
+Optionally, set up the `postgres` user and group (only neeeded on machines,
+where the changes to `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` from the installation are
+not persistent), and create a simple `.bashrc` file for the `postgres` user.
+
+```
+export POSTGRES_UID=$(stat -c %u ${POSTGIS_DIR})
+sudo groupadd -g 114 postgres && sudo useradd -u 115 -g 114 -s /bin/bash -m -d /local/data-ssd/postgis postgres
+echo -e 'export PS1="\u@\h:\W$ "\nalias ll="ls -alh"' > .bashrc
+ln -s .bashrc .bash_profile
+```
+
+## Create a database (if not already created), and list existing tables and indexes
+
+Create a database `spatialjoin_db`, enable PostGIS, and list all public (that
+is, not system) tables and indexes in the `spatialjoin_db` database (the `+`
+provides additional information). The first two commands will do nothing if
+the database and extension were already created before.
+
+
+```
+sudo su - postgres -c "createdb spatialjoin_db"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "\dt+ public.*"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "\di+ public.*"
+```
+
+To remove tables and indexes with a certain prefix, use the following commands:
+
+```
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "DROP TABLE public.freiburg*;"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "DROP INDEX public.freiburg*;"
+```
+
+## Get data, load it into the database, and query it
+
+The following `curl` command produces a TSV file from a SPARQL query that
+contains all geometries that are contained in the region specified by the
+`osmrel:...` relation. The table has two columns: `osm_id` and `geometry`.
+
+```
+export NAME=freiburg
+curl -s https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/api/osm-planet -H "Accept: text/csv" -H "Content-type: application/sparql-query" --data "PREFIX geo: <http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#> PREFIX ogc: <http://www.opengis.net/rdf#> PREFIX osmrel: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/> SELECT ?osm_id ?geometry WHERE { osmrel:62768 ogc:sfContains ?osm_id . ?osm_id geo:hasGeometry/geo:asWKT ?geometry }" | sed 's/,/\t/;s|https://www.openstreetmap.org/|osm|;s|/|:|;s/"//g' > $NAME.tsv
+```
+
+The following commands load the data into the database, and create a spatial index.
+This produces one table called `${NAME}` and two indexes called `${NAME}_pkey`
+and `${NAME}_geom_idx`.
+
+
+```
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE TABLE ${NAME} (id VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, geom GEOMETRY);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE TABLE ${NAME}_loader (id VARCHAR, geom_text VARCHAR);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "\copy ${NAME}_loader FROM '$(pwd)/${NAME}.tsv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER E'\t', HEADER true);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "INSERT INTO ${NAME} (id, geom) SELECT id, ST_GeomFromText(geom_text, 4326) FROM ${NAME}_loader;"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "DROP table ${NAME}_loader;"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ${NAME};"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE INDEX ${NAME}_geom_idx ON ${NAME} USING GIST (geom);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "\dt+ public.${NAME}*"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "\di+ public.${NAME}*"
+```
+
+The following commands compute the complete spatial self-join and output its
+size. The first command only computes the number of candidate pairs (that is,
+the number of pairs of geometries that have a bounding box overlap). The second
+command computes the exact number of pairs that intersect.
+
+```
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ${NAME} AS a, ${NAME} AS b WHERE a.geom && b.geom;"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ${NAME} AS a, ${NAME} AS b WHERE ST_Intersects(a.geom, b.geom);"
+```
+
+# Create table for complete OSM data
+
+The following produces a TSV file for all OSM objects of a certain class. The
+TSV file has four columns: the OSM id, the class name, the type, and the
+geometry.
+
+```
+export CLASS=building
+curl -s https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/api/osm-planet -H "Accept: text/tab-separated-values" -H "Content-type: application/sparql-query" --data "PREFIX osm: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/> PREFIX geo: <http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#> PREFIX ogc: <http://www.opengis.net/rdf#> PREFIX osmrel: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/> PREFIX osmkey: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:> SELECT (REPLACE(REPLACE(STR(?osm_id_), STR(osm:), \"osm\"), \"/\", \":\") AS ?osm_id) (REPLACE(STR(osmkey:${CLASS}), STR(osmkey:), \"\") AS ?predicate) ?type ?geometry WHERE { { SELECT ?osm_id_ (SAMPLE(?type_) AS ?type) WHERE { ?osm_id_ osmkey:${CLASS} ?type_ } GROUP BY ?osm_id_ } ?osm_id_ geo:hasGeometry/geo:asWKT ?geometry }" | sed 's/"//g;s/\^\^<http[^\t]*>$//' > ${CLASS}.tsv
+```
+
+```
+export NAME=osm-planet
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE TABLE ${NAME} (id VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, class VARCHAR, type VARCHAR, geom GEOMETRY);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "CREATE TABLE ${NAME}_loader (id VARCHAR, class VARCHAR, type VARCHAR, geom_text VARCHAR);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "COPY ${NAME}_loader FROM '$(pwd)/building.tsv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER E'\t', HEADER true);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "COPY ${NAME}_loader FROM '$(pwd)/highway.tsv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER E'\t', HEADER true);"
+psql -U postgres -d spatialjoin_db -c "INSERT INTO ${NAME} (id, class, type, geom) SELECT DISTINCT ON (id) id, class, type, ST_GeomFromText(geom_text, 4326) FROM ${NAME}_loader;"
