Hi. First of all, thanks for the response. In Open JUMP I can create a new layer and the I can put on him features of any type (line, polygon,...). But if I want to save this layer on a postGIS table I obtain an error. On a postGIS table exists some constraint on the field that contains the geometry (type of geometry and its dimension) and I can write geometries of a single kind. But hte problem doesn't is only postgis: if I want to save the new layer on a ESRI shapefile I obtain also an error because also in the shape I can write geometries of a single kind!
I find strange that I can put on a layer features of any type (on Intergraph Geomedia, on ESRI ArcView, on QGIS when I create a new layer I specifiy also the kind of features that contains). I have partially read the german postgis manual with the help of a friend that knows german, but there's no help about my question. Any ideas about this? Thanks for the help.
