Hi,
If I understand your question correct, yes I would like to break all lines in 
the intersections with another layer.
No I have not tried MultiLinestrings comprised of all lines that are 
intersecting the lines to be broken. Don’t know how to do this. ☹

This is how far I have come:

CREATE TABLE splittedlayer3
AS SELECT ST_CollectionExtract(ST_Split(o.the_geom, c.the_geom),2) as the_geom
FROM "orgLayer" o, "cutLayer" c WHERE ST_Intersects(o.the_geom, c.the_geom)

But this gives duplicate line segments when intersecting the cutting lines 
twice.

Have you tried using ST_Split passing each input line and for the second 
argument a MultiLineString comprised of all lines that it might intersect 
(obtained via BBOX or ST_Intersects query)?  It seems like that should not 
create any duplicate linework from the input line.

As far as I know there's no other way to do this using current PostGIS 
functions.   It's an interesting requirement - it sounds like essentially you 
want to node one layer against another.  There's actually the machinery to do 
this internally in PostGIS/GEOS, but it's never come up as a requirement 
before, so has not been exposed as a function.

What is your use case?

I think it must be possible, but I’m not that skilled in SQL and I’ve not found 
any examples on the net.
