Thanks for the replies.

Here's my version info:
postgis_full_version
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTGIS="1.3.5" GEOS="3.0.3-CAPI-1.4.2" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.1, 21 August 2008" USE_STATS

I see the version of GEOS is lower than the 3.1.1 that you recommend. I thought at one point I was using that 3.1.1 version. I did read up on the new union algorithm and how it speeds up the process, but if upgrading fixes this too, I'm up for using it. I just tried to install Pg 8.4.0 via linux installer, but I didn't see any PostGIS package in stackbuilder? I can test it's capability by compiling it on my box, but it has to be in stackbuilder before I can use it.

The geometries themselves look okay, they specify polygons that have some area. I don't have any handy at the moment, but I will run them through the isvalid() function and take your .sql file into consideration.


Any more things to look at would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Nate

Use

update table set geom = cleangeometry(geom) where isvalid(geom) = FALSE;

Betreff: [postgis-users] union operation





I have many polygons I'm trying to make a union of. The polygons have a high possibility of shared vertices which causes the "NOTICE:

TopologyException: found non-noded intersection between ..." error.



How can I avoid this error?



I did find a reasonable query that used linework which solved that problem, but was problematic in other ways I think (I forgot those other circumstances). _______________________________________________
