Mats, Maybe the thing to do is to use the below function...?
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(2 3),LINESTRING((2 3,3 4))) Then inside the Geometry collection, you can put both a Polygon and a Curve Polygon ? This webpage seems to be a good place to read about all the different types of shape you can store... though I guess you've seen it already... http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html Cheers James On 20 July 2011 20:27, Mats Taraldsvik <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On 07/20/2011 08:53 PM, James David Smith wrote: >> >> Hey Mats, >> >> I'm just a newbie, so don't really have an answer for you I'm afraid, >> but if a Polygon has a curved line, then it isn't a Polygon I don't >> think.
