-PostGIS 2.0 Migration Guide
-===========================
-
-PostGIS 2.0 introduces changes that may affect backwards compatibility
-for some applications. This document lists those changes.
-
-
-Deprecated Functions Removed
-----------------------------
-
-Since PostGIS 1.2, we have been encouraging users to use functions with
-the ST_ prefix. The ST_ prefixed functions are part of the ISO SQL/MM
-standard and used by other spatial SQL databases, so we want to conform
-as closely to the industry usage as we can.
-
-At 2.0, we have finally removed the old functions. If you have an
-application that *still* requires the old function signatures, please
-look to the legacy_*.sql files to add the old signatures back in.
-
-If you are using MapServer, upgrade to the latest versions of the 6.0
-or 6.2 releases. For earlier releases, you will have to install the
-legacy.sql files.
-
-
-Unknown SRID
-------------
-
-The "unknown SRID", assigned to geometries when SRID is not specified,
-is now 0, not -1.  ST_SRID will now return 0 when called on a geometry
-with no known SRID.
-
-
-ST_AsBinary, ST_AsText and 3D
------------------------------
-
-Previous versions of PostGIS returned 2D versions of objects when
-ST_AsBinary and ST_AsText were called. PostGIS 2.0 returns ISO SQL/MM
-versions when 3D or 4D objects are used.  For example, a 3D point with a
-Z dimension will return as 'POINT Z (0 0 0)'. A 4D point will return as
-'POINT ZM (0 0 0 0)'.
-
-For WKB, extra dimensionality is indicated in the type numbers. The Z,
-M, and ZM type numbers are indicated by adding 1000, 2000, and 3000
-respectively to the usual 2D type numbers. So, for example, a 2D Point
-has a type number of 1. A 4D PointZM has a type number of 3001.  A 2D
-polygon has a type number of 3. A PolygonZ has a type number of 2003.
-
-
-geometry_columns
-----------------
-
-In PostGIS 2.0, the ``geometry_columns`` metadata has been changed from
-a table to a view. 
-
-  * For applications that manage ``geometry_columns``
-    using the standard AddGeometryColumn() and other methods, there should
-    be no change. 
-
-  * Applications that have inserted directly into ``geometry_columns`` 
-    will need to either move to the standard functions, or change
-    their create table syntax to include type/srid/dimensionality
-    information. 
-
-    For example, to specify a 3D feature in WGS84::
-
-      CREATE TABLE mytable (
-        id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
-        g Geometry(PointZ,4326)
-      );
-
-  * Applications reading metadata from ``geometry_columns`` should expect
-    that the geometry type strings will be mixed case and include the
-    dimensionality modifiers. For example: PointZM, MultiLineStringZ.
-    
-  * If you have views built on tables that were built
-    the old constraint way or that use processing
-    functions to return new geometries, they will not register correctly 
-    in geometry_columns.  They will all appear as Geometry with srid=0.
-    
-  	In order to fix this, you have to cast the geometries in the view.
-  	So for example, If you had a view that looked like this:
-  	CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW vwparcels AS
-  		SELECT gid, parcel_id, 
-  			ST_Transform(geom, 26986) As geom_26986, -- a transformed geometry
-  			geom, --one that used constraints before
-  			ST_Centroid(geom) As cent_geom -- one that used processing function
-  		FROM parcels;
-  		
-  	You will need to drop and recreate the view. 
-  	Sadly CREATE OR REPLACE will not work since the casting
-	  makes geometries be treated as a different type as far as
-	  CREATE OR REPLACE is concerned.
-  	
-  	NOTE for this, it might help to lookup in geometry_columns 
-  	    to see the raw table srid/type
-  	Alternatively you can convert some of your table columns to typmod, 
-  	then you would only need to CAST when doing processing. 
-  	This however still requires you rebuild your dependent views
-  	DROP VIEW vwparcels;
-  	CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW vwparcels AS
-  		SELECT gid, parcel_id, 
-  		   ST_Transform(geom, 26986)::geometry(MultiPolygon,26986) 
-  		      As geom_26986,
-  			geom::geometry(MultiPolygon, 2249) As geom,
-  			ST_Centroid(geom)::geometry(Point,2249) As cent_geom
-  		FROM parcels;
-
-    
-Restoring data from prior versions -- GOTCHAS
------------------------------------------------
-The populate_geometry_columns() function in PostGIS 1.5 and below, 
-used the deprecated functions ndims() and srid() for defining constraints.  
-As a result these tables will not
-restore into a fresh PostGIS 2.0 database unless you
-
-1) Drop these contraints before you restore the data
-
-or 
-
-2) Install the legacy functions srid() and ndims() found in the legacy.sql
-  file before you try to restore these tables.
-
-Function is not unique after restore
--------------------------------------
-After you restore old data into a fresh PostGIS 2.0 database, 
-YOU MUST install the uninstall_legacy.sql
-file after the restore.  If you don't you will run into 
-"function is not unique" errors in your applications.
-The other issue with having the old functions is the old functions you
-restore will be bound to the old postgis library which is incompatible
-with the new postgis geometry structures.
-
-If you still require legacy functions, you can install the legacy.sql
-file after the uninstall_legacy.sql.
-
-GOTCHA with uninstall_legacy.sql
---------------------------------
-The uninstall_legacy.sql will not be able to uninstall functions and will 
-output errors detailing objects using these functions that are currently 
-being used in views and sql functions.
-
-If you run it in PgAdmin, the whole script will rollback not 
-uninstalling anything. So you should run it in PSQL mode.
-If you get errors in uninstall_legacy.sql -- convert those views and sql
-functions to use the newer equivalent functions 
-and then rerun the script again.
-
-BENCHMARK NOTES
-------------------------------
-Querying a whole geometry_columns table of 200-240 someodd records 
-(tables/views all constraint based)( On windows 9.1beta2)
-Speed for this set of data I'm okay with though a bit slower
-I think the main issue why fancy is slower is that to get the fancy name
-I need to do a double call to get dims since fancy_name needs dims as well
-This I expect to be much faster using typ_mod
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns_v; -- 2063 ms, 1063 ms (using fancy name)
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns_v2; -- 656 ms (this is not using fancy name) 
-
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns; -- original static table 31ms - 150 ms
-
--- Doing single selects of a table
--- constraint based one -- 76ms, 46ms
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns_v where f_table_name = 'streets';
-
--- One I converted to typmod -- 76 ms, 48 ms (first call was slower)
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns_v where f_table_name = 'buildings_1995';
-
---Filter query for schema --
--- these are constraint based (7 rows) -- 76 ms, 240 ms, 68 ms
-SELECT * FROM geometry_columns_v where f_table_schema = 'tiger';
-
--- CONVERTING TO Typmod as I feared is slow for tables with data.  
-   I think it follows the same model 
--- as converting varchar(100) to text or varchar(100) to varchar(300) etc.
--- This maybe can be remedied somehow in 9.1 since it hasn't been released
--- (haven't tried doing this exercise in 8.4, 9.0)
--- This took  36,018 ms for table of 350,572 records.  
-I assume it will be linear with number of records.
-
-ALTER TABLE buildings_1995 
-    ALTER COLUMN the_geom TYPE geometry(MultiPolygon,2249);
