David, I should read before I write... completely missed this in the new postgis version.

I was basing myself on a post from opengeo where it is still in a roadmap:

Again, thanks for pointing me out. Really happy to see this!

Cheers,
 Tom

What kind of upgrades are you after? ST_LocateAlong does allow for offsetting along a line.

    Thanks for pointing that out David!

    I got my example from an existing piece of code that needed
    measures later on, so at that time it made sense to create the
    measure.
    Nevertheless I'm hoping for some upgrade of the linear referencing
    functions. Especially the option of offsetting along a line would
    be superb.

    Tom,

    You've got the right toolbox out, but you're doing a bit of
    mismatching between the tools.

    You can certainly do this using the Linear Referencing tools by
    either using ST_Add_Measure and then using ST_LocateAlong (or
    ST_Locate_Along_Measure pre 2.0) OR just use
    ST_Line_Interpolate_Point along with ST_Length.

    Examples of how to do this in a single step:

    With Measures:
