The ST_MakeValid tries its best to retain all input vertices. IIRC there's a difference with a multipolygon composed by two overlapping rectangles. Also, ST_MakeValid internally checks for input validity and avoids running anything if the input is valid. Such check has a cost too. --strk; ,------o-. | __/ | Delivering high quality PostGIS 2.0 ! | / 2.0 | http://strk.keybit.net - http://vizzuality.com `-o------' _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
