OK. What is going on with AsKML in PostGIS 1.3.3 ? It looks like there
are two new mandatory arguments (version and precision), and the
function name is prefixed by an underscore.
This used to work:
ST_AsKML(geometry)
Now this is the only way to invoke the function:
_ST_AsKML(2, geometry, precision)
I noticed that this is not in the online documentation [1]. Any ideas
on what prompted this change, or when it will be documented? Could I
be looking in the wrong places?
Cheers,

Hi Dylan,
In newer versions of PostGIS we standardised on the form of the
ST_As*ML() functions so that they are all of the form (version,
geometry, precision). However, for older functions that didn't have the
version parameter by default, there should be a PL/PGSQL wrapper
function that acts as a compatibility layer.
So as Regina suggested, it sounds to me as if something went wrong as
part of a database upgrade from an earlier PostGIS version so that the
wrapper function is not present in your new database.
HTH,
Mark.
