I did some more digging and found this: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiSplitPolygonWithLineString
It uses some of the older function names (geomunion instead of ST_Union, and boundary instead of ST_Boundary), but it works. As for splitting polylines, I found this which got me going in the right direction: http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2007-September/017149.html Thanks to Kevin (I suspect it's the same Kevin who answered both of these...)!

I would specifically need to be able to split linestrings and polygons (and the "multi" versions of both) using a linestring. I know there is an ST_Split function in version 2.0, but I need to do this in 1.5.3. Is there a multistep method that would get me the same thing? Thanks, Arnold Engelmann
