[postgis-users] Merge rectangles

[DrYSG]

In the table portal.catalog 

column poly is a geometry (always a rectangle, with datum EPSG 4326)
column type is a text field.

I want to find all the records who have a type of "CADRG" and merge the
polygons into the simplest shape that covers all the items in the array
(I.e. if they form a square with a hole, then I want that, if it has to be a
multipolygon, so be it).

Is this the correct way to do that?


SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Union(
ARRAY(
	SELECT poly 
	FROM portal.catalog as cat
	WHERE cat.type='CADRG'
	LIMIT 10
	)
	)
)
