[postgis-users] Split multi-linestrings

Thanks Fred,

I have also had this problem, but I don't understand how to handle the  
'set' that is returned.

I don't seem to be able to split out each LINESTRING into its own row.  
Is there a way to do this or handle the 'set' output?

(It may just be incorrect programming on my part, but I have tried all  
the examples from the documents, and get a geometry 'set' - I just  
can't do anything with it!)

cheers

Ben
