+**count**(expression) aggregate to return the size of a set of records\\
-ST_
+**ST_GeometryType**(geometry) returns the type of the geometry\\
+**ST_SRID**(geometry) returns the spatial reference identifier number of the geometry\\
+**ST_X**(point) returns the X ordinate\\
+**ST_Y**(point) returns the Y ordinate\\
+**ST_Length**(linestring) returns the length of the linestring\\

 ==== Spatial relationships between layers ====
+ST_Contains(geometry A, geometry B): Returns true if and only if no points of B lie in the exterior of A, and at least one point of the interior of B lies in the interior of A.
+ST_Crosses(geometry A, geometry B): Returns TRUE if the supplied geometries have some, but not all, interior points in common.
+ST_Disjoint(geometry A , geometry B): Returns TRUE if the Geometries do not “spatially intersect” - if they do not share any space together.
+ST_Distance(geometry A, geometry B): Returns the 2-dimensional cartesian minimum distance (based on spatial ref) between two geometries in projected units.
+ST_DWithin(geometry A, geometry B, radius): Returns true if the geometries are within the specified distance (radius) of one another.
+ST_Equals(geometry A, geometry B): Returns true if the given geometries represent the same geometry. Directionality is ignored.
+ST_Intersects(geometry A, geometry B): Returns TRUE if the Geometries/Geography “spatially intersect” - (share any portion of space) and FALSE if they don’t (they are Disjoint).
+ST_Overlaps(geometry A, geometry B): Returns TRUE if the Geometries share space, are of the same dimension, but are not completely contained by each other.
+ST_Touches(geometry A, geometry B): Returns TRUE if the geometries have at least one point in common, but their interiors do not intersect.
+ST_Within(geometry A , geometry B): Returns true if the geometry A is completely inside geometry B

+===== Exercise =====
+Generate bar graph showing the area of each sea located within a distance of 0.5 degrees from the coast of a chosen country
+- Open the processing toolbox, click on R Script...Tools...Create New R Script.
+- Copy and paste the following code into the R Script and save it as Countries_Zones_Plot
+<file>
+##QCBS Workshop=group
+##Layer=vector
+##showplots
+data2=tapply(Layer$new_area,Layer$IHO_Sea,mean)
+par(mar=c(10,4,4,2))
+barplot(data2, las=2)
+</file>
+- Open the Graphical Modeler
+- Specify "Country Seas" as the Model name and "QCBS Workshop" as the group.
+- Add a Vector Layer to the Model, name it "Country" and specify Polygon as shape type.
+- Add a Strong to the Model, name it "Country Name".
+- Add "Extract by attributes" to the model (Under QGIS geoalgorithms). Specify Country as the Input Layer, = as the operator, NAME as the Selection Attribute and select Country_Name as the Value.
+- Add a Fixed Distance Buffer to the model. Specify Output from Extract by Attributes as the Input, and set a Distance of 0.5. Choose to dissolve the output.
+- Add another Vector Layer to the model. Name it Zones. Set Polygon as the shape type.
+- Add Intersection to the model. Intersect between the output of the Buffer and the Zones layer.
+- Add Field Calculator to the model. Specify new_area as the Result Field Name and $area as the Formula.
+- Now Add your R script from Step 2 (Countries_Zones_Plot) to the model. The input is the output from 11 (Field Calculator), Call the output Country_Seas.
+Your model should now look like this:
+{{::graphical_modeler1.png?direct&200|}}
+- Now your model is ready to be run! First Save the Model and call it Country_Seas. Then close the Graphical Modeler and double click on your Model in the Toolbox under Models.... Specify TM_World_Borders as the Countries and EEZ_IHO_union_v2 as the Zones. Specify the name of a Country (ex. Canada).
+- When the algorithm finishes running, you should see a graph showing the area of each sea along the coast of the chosen country.
