Hi George, Glad I could help. I also learned a lot with this case. The "with recursive" queries are really powerful to process data. You could also use a plpgsql function to achieve the same result. It offers a great amount of control to process data.
Regarding the SQL code I use, I'm wondering if using "distinct on" geometry could lead to problems. AFAIK it uses bboxes and not geom themselves to compare records. Not sure, though, if 2 contours can share the same bbox. Nicolas. Le 19 mai 2012 à 09:25, georgew <gws...@hotmail.com> a écrit : > Hi Nicolas, this is it! it works beautifully.
