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></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So if i hear you, there's a need to something like postgis_sfcgal extension,</div><div>in the next 2.2 that's it ?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

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.</span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>There's something somehow related in this specific use case:</div><div><br></div><div> - You compile PostGIS with SFCGAL</div><div> - You don't load sfcgal.sql</div><div> - You choose to force PostGIS backend to sfcgal</div><div> - You call a function related to PostGIS backend</div><div><br></div><div>And the result will be something like 'undefined function'</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>O.</div></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
