Hi Kevin,

thanks for mailing!

I do the following command:

INSERT INTO pl_zonen_gen VALUES ('SELECT right_pl_zone, ST_BuildArea(ST_Collect(geometry))
FROM pl_zonen_kante_gen GROUP BY right_pl_zone','xxxx')

I get error message:

ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry
SQL Status:XX000

What does that refer to?

To make my problem more clear: I have a table with edges of german postal code areas and attributes like right_pl_zone=<postalcodearea1> and left_pl_zone=<postalcodearea2> and I need to create polygons from that.

I have an empty polygontable with a geometry field and a character field for the postalcode
I want to do something like this (with vb.net):

for each postalcode in postalcode_list
INSERT INTO polygontable VALUES(MakePolygon(SELECT geometry FROM geomtable WHERE right_pl_zone=postalcode OR left_pl_zone=postalcode), postalcode)
next

So maybe you would like to help me again with the SQL-string or give me an advice how to do it! Thanks a lot!

Stefan.

Use ST_Polygonize() or ST_BuildArea() depending on your preference.

ie.
SELECT attribute1, attribute2, ST_BuildArea(ST_Collect(my_line_geom))
FROM my_line_table
GROUP BY attribute1, attribute2;

Hi

I need to create polygons from lines. Using OpenJUMP it works fine with the geometry but I'm loosing all attribute data!

Could anyone please tell me how to do that in PostGIS!

Thanks a lot - Stefan.
