Methods and Systems for Querying Data Within a Geographical Boundary Using a Query Tool

A method performed by a system to generate a query visualization, wherein the method comprises:

• converting, by an export service application communicatively coupled to a geospatial database, a format of parameters and a geographic boundary received from a workstation into query parameters that are formatted to be compatible with the geospatial database;
• generating, by the export service application, a database query comprising the query parameters, wherein the database query is for retrieving data, from the geospatial database, that matches the parameters received and is associated with a location within the geographic boundary;
• transmitting, by the export service application, the database query to the geospatial database to execute the database query at the geospatial database;
• and
• receiving, by the export service application, a result of the database query from the geospatial database, wherein the query visualization is generated based on the result of the database query and presented at the workstation, wherein the query visualization provides a visual indication of data queried by a user of the workstation within the geographic boundary.

A system comprising:

• a geospatial database configured to store data used to generate a visualization;
• at least one processor;
• at least one non-transitory memory;
• and
• an export service application stored in the at least one non-transitory memory, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to be configured to:
• receive parameters and location information describing a geographic boundary from a workstation;
• communicate with the geospatial database to convert the parameters to query parameters that are formatted to be compatible with the geospatial database;
• generate a database query comprising the query parameters;
• transmit the database query to the geospatial database to execute the database query at the geospatial database;
• and
• receive a result of the database query from the geospatial database, wherein a query visualization is generated based on the result of the database query and presented at the workstation, and wherein the query visualization provides a visual indication of data queried by a user within the geographic boundary.
