Be warned, your function does not remove duplicate vertices at the split point...

CREATE TABLE lines AS
    SELECT 'LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,3 3,5 5,6 6,7 7)'::geometry AS geom;

CREATE TABLE points AS
    SELECT 'POINT(3 3)'::geometry AS geom;

SELECT astext(line) FROM
   (SELECT line FROM split_lines2(
        'SELECT geom FROM lines',
        'select geom FROM points')
    ) as foo;


             astext             
---------------------------------
 LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,3 3)
 LINESTRING(3 3,3 3,5 5,6 6,7 7)

Well here is the function:
the two in variables are select queries. First one selects the line
features and the second one the point features. really simple.

Maybe linear referencing can help you.
In psql....

CREATE TABLE lines AS
    SELECT 'LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,3 3,5 5,6 6,7 7)'::geometry AS geom;

CREATE TABLE points AS
    SELECT 'POINT(3 3)'::geometry AS geom;

-- expanded output
\x

SELECT ST_AsText(ln_geom) AS original_geom,
       ST_AsText(pt_geom) AS point_geom,
       ST_AsText(ST_SnapToGrid(ST_Line_Substring(ln_geom, 0.0,
location), 1)) AS split1_geom,
       ST_AsText(ST_SnapToGrid(ST_Line_Substring(ln_geom, location,
1.0), 1)) AS split2_geom
FROM
   (
    SELECT ln.geom AS ln_geom,
           pt.geom AS pt_geom,
           ST_Line_Locate_Point(ln.geom, pt.geom) AS location
    FROM lines ln, points pt
    ) AS foo;

-[ RECORD 1 ]-+------------------------------------
original_geom | LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,3 3,5 5,6 6,7 7)
point_geom    | POINT(3 3)
split1_geom   | LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,3 3)
split2_geom   | LINESTRING(3 3,5 5,6 6,7 7)

Hi all,

as the subject says i would like to find a way to split several
thousand lines into segments with an intersecting (or relatively near)
point feature. I don't see how this could be done via a straight sql
query, however I'm by no means the smartest cookie in the jar when it
comes to these things, hence I'm throwing it out to the list. Failing
that I reckon my only recourse would be  to cobble up a plpgsql
function to do same. Before I go down that path I would like to see if
such a function exists or if someone happens to be working on
something similar at this moment.... right... so yah that would be it.

Thanks.

Rhys
