[postgis-users] Simple Line Density

[Jeff Adams - NOAA Affiliate]

Thanks for the response Stephen.I will have upwards of 150,000 lines
features that I will want to feed into the density. These are stored in a
single table (actually will be in a CTE), and many of the lines will
overlap one another. It is hard to say whether these solutions are viable
as I am having a hard time visualizing the SQL. You would think that I am
not the first person who has wanted to do this in PostGIS, but I haven't
found example one.
