open lwpostgis.sql and look for ST_Union. I see the aggregate def'n in my source. Don't you?

Yeah... I was thinking about that. Why is it that I do not see a CREATE
AGGREGATE ST_Union(geometry) or anything like that in the source code?

Cheers,

Hi,

Noticed this today:

-- basic query
SELECT ST_Buffer(ST_UNION(wkb_geometry), 0.1) as wkb_geometry
FROM
       (
       SELECT 1 as id, wkb_geometry
       FROM map
       ) as a
GROUP BY a.id;

-- error message
ERROR:  function st_union(geometry) does not exist

-- software version (Postgresql 8.3.7)
POSTGIS="1.3.6" GEOS="3.0.0-CAPI-1.4.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21 Dec 2007"
USE_STATS

Could this be related to my recent upgrade from postgis 1.3.3 ? Other
postgis queries seem to work.

I was able to get a result using GeomUnion(geometry)--- but for anything more than a couple features this would take > 1 hour, not finishing, and
could not be canceled by the user.

Grepping through the source reveals:
/src/postgresql-8.3.7/contrib/postgis-1.3.6$ grep -R -i
'st_union(geometry)' *

postgis_comments.sql:COMMENT ON AGGREGATE ST_Union(geometry) IS 'args: g1field - Returns a geometry that represents the point set union of the
Geometries.';

Ideas?

Dylan
