anyway. It has to be a separate extension like point cloud. Otherwise
we'd have to force everyone to start building with SFCGAL since it adds
additional functions not supported natively by PostGIS or GEOS and we can't have
two different postgis extensions of same version with disparate number of
functions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>Internally, and Olivier can correct me if I am wrong. I
think SFCGAL surplants some functions because of the flipping of back ends when
compiled with SFCGAL so for the functions where SFCGAL overlaps with main
PostGIS, SFCGAL overrides the GEOS behavior even when sfcgal.sql is not
installed. That part is very hazy to me though.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

looks to me like sfcgal.sql never gets added to the postgis extension, even
when it's been built and enabled... so there's no way to use the cgal
functions in an extension context, only if you manually load the sfcgal.sql
file yourself. Correct interpretation?<BR><SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT
