I have working PostgreSQL 9.5.3 with PostGIS. I have sucessfully created table and column with geom data type. I am able to execute geometry queries, namley ST_Transform without problem.

# SELECT ST_Transform(location_geom, 26986) FROM table;
                    st_transform                    
----------------------------------------------------
 01010000206A6900003CB104EFAB3D6241733751CA4EDF5941
(1 row)

However, when trying to use ST_ClusterDBSCAN it says, it does not know function like this.

SELECT ST_ClusterDBSCAN(location_geom, eps := 0,5, minpoints := 2) FROM table;
ERROR:  function st_clusterdbscan(geometry, eps => numeric, minpoints => integer) does not exist

Same result when I append "OVER ()" just after ST_ClusterDBSCAN(...), although I do not know what it does, but I have seen it in documentation.

http://postgis.net/docs/manual-dev/ST_ClusterDBSCAN.html

What needs to be installed, to use ST_ClusterDBSCAN?

You need PostGIS 2.3 which was released on 9/26/2016.

Check 

SELECT postgis_full_version();

If it says less than 2.3, you are out of luck.

  • I should add, if you are on windows, experimental binaries are available here: postgis.net/windows_downloads I don't think any distros have released binaries for 2.3, so you'd have to compile yourself if you are on another platform. – LR1234567 May 26 '16 at 17:20
  • OP said he was using 9.5.3, but maybe that is incorrect. – John Powell May 26 '16 at 17:26
  • 9.5.3 is my version of postgresql, however postgis version is 2.2.1 and indeed, documentation says it required 2.3.0, I didn't pay attention. Actually, I do not need ST_ClusterDBSCAN, but any clustering algorithm - are You able to suggest any that exists in postgis 2.2.1? – xinus01 May 26 '16 at 17:29
  • PostGIS 2.2 has ST_ClusterWithin (equivalent to DBSCAN with minPoints = 1) and ST_ClusterIntersecting (equivalent to DBSCAN with minPoints = 1 and eps = 0) – dbaston May 26 '16 at 19:05

You need postgis >=2.3 which is out just now: https://t.co/5wyd4nVer3
