I have to confess I'm not sure what the best or most current version is - perhaps the list can help out?

Is this an older version of PostGIS/GEOS?  I believe that most of these
kinds of problems were addressed in a release of GEOS last year.

Anyone get an error similar to this when unioning a bunch of polygons

I must say before I get into the details only a few of you will read
that portion that I've used postgis for a while now (since 1.1.5) and
it is *PHENOMENAL*.  I don't want my only posts to this list in that
time frame to be negative -- can't tell you how much
faster/better/intuitive I've found postgis over very expensive
commercial alternatives :-).


My query is similar to the following:

SELECT st_multi(st_union(poly)) from (select ... (a bunch of polys) ... ) a;

The subselect is operating on a fairly dynamic table, and I've gone
months without any problems (with many different sets of polygons too)

I tried st_isvalid() on all polygons returned from the subselect, and
all are valid, and are all non-null...
If I have duplicate (or close to duplicate) polygons returned, is that
going to potentially screw up st_union()?


I'm running Ubuntu server (x64) 8.04 LTS, and am using the packages
for GEOS and postgis from their universe repo:

postgis 1.3.3
libgeos 2.2.3

(postgresql 8.3)


Thanks for the help!
