Description
Modify the graph to include points defined by points_sql. Using Dijkstra algorithm, return only the aggregate cost of the shortest path(s) found.
- The main characteristics are:
 - 
     
- 
       
It does not return a path.
 - 
       
Returns the sum of the costs of the shortest path for pair combination of vertices in the modified graph.
 - 
       
Vertices of the graph are:
- 
         
positive when it belongs to the edges_sql
 - 
         
negative when it belongs to the points_sql
 
 - 
         
 - 
       
Process is done only on edges with positive costs.
 - 
       
Values are returned when there is a path.
- 
         
The returned values are in the form of a set of (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost) .
 - 
         
When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the same, there is no path.
- 
           
The agg_cost in the non included values (v, v) is 0
 
 - 
           
 - 
         
When the starting vertex and ending vertex are the different and there is no path.
- 
           
The agg_cost in the non included values (u, v) is \(\infty\)
 
 - 
           
 
 - 
         
 - 
       
If the values returned are stored in a table, the unique index would be the pair: (start_vid, end_vid) .
 - 
       
For undirected graphs, the results are symmetric .
- 
         
The agg_cost of (u, v) is the same as for (v, u) .
 
 - 
         
 - 
       
For optimization purposes, any duplicated value in the start_vids or end_vids is ignored.
 - 
       
The returned values are ordered:
- 
         
start_vid ascending
 - 
         
end_vid ascending
 
 - 
         
 - 
       
Running time: \(O( start\_vids * (V \log V + E))\)

There is no details flag, unlike the other members of the withPoints family of functions.
Using defaults
pgr_withPointsCost(edges_sql, points_sql, start_vid, end_vid)
RETURNS SET OF (start_vid, end_vid, agg_cost)
    - Example :
 -

For a directed graph.
 - 
     
The driving side is set as b both. So arriving/departing to/from the point(s) can be in any direction.
