I will try a geo-trigger now (that im at office).
But there are lots of complications that i can imagine...
I would like to hear from others if they have some experience in this.
At this moment i will try a Topology trigger that will delete the
overlaping part of digitized polygon.
Thanks for your input Webb!

Hello all again,
I´m curious. I´ve said in qgis list and some other 'desktop' GIS software
lists that the biggest feature missing for OSGIS is something like the
'auto-complete' polygon in ArcGIS,, that would make life much easier.
Indeed!
I´ve been reading some things, and i´ve seem people mentioning trigger based
topology (eg cut out the overlaping area of digitized polygons, or,maintain
only the overlaping areas of the digitized polygons, and other related
issues).
I think the hard part is deciding how you want to do this exactly,
since all approaches involve changing the data somehow; a lot of
people are chary of automatically deleting gaps, for example, lest
they aren't really gaps (consider the Vatican Republic in a map of
euro nations...).
I imagine that would be a trigger using something like after insert update
the_geom.
Can you guys with more experience give me a example, so i can build my own?
Best pratices? Some light around this subject?
Have you ever written a non-geo trigger in postgresql? If not, I
would practice using the docs; I am pretty sure you could just modify
NEW with a geo operator/ function.
If so, I think a larger scale project needs to be embarked on. The
work so far seems to me to be quite low level without a grand plan,
and I think a grand plan is needed. I would start with a bunch of
functions for modifying a geometry based on its neighbors and some
topology constraints, then maybe a schema to store topology
information, and only then start implementing triggers. But this is
armchair quarterbacking--hopefully someone with some real experience
will say something...
