Dear all,<br>
<br>
I've just signed to this mailing list even if I would have done it
before!<br>
I've started using pgRouting only some months ago, when I needed to
calculate shortest path on a very huge size graph, that required too
much memory and cpu to be loaded and processed into my own
application. pgRouting helped me to move complexity of
representation and calculation from RAM to a geospatial database. So
I 'm really grateful to pgRouting community :-)<br>
While using pgRouting (pgRouting-1.03) I've encountered only the
following problem:<br>
as you know the shortest path calculated by dijkstra is stored in a
table called "dijkstra_result" and containing "MULTILINESTRING" kind
objects. That is shortest path consists of more multilinestrings.
The matter is that multllines are not stored into the order I
expected. In fact it's not always true that first table record
contains first multiline (containing first point) of shortest path,
and the other multilines are not stored so that one record multiline
is the next, in the expected order, of the previous record
multiline.<br>
This is not a problem if<b> dijkstra_result </b> table has to be
used only as a layer to be visualized. But if I need to load into my
application<b> dijkstra_result</b> table content and rebuild
shortest path, for example by considering all its points
coordinates, I need to order multilines, and that's what I've done
:-)<br>
<br>
I wonder if this feature is to be considered a bug or if it has
never been a problem before.<br>
<br>
I apologize for being so long. <br>
<br>
thanks in advance<br>
<br>
