[postgis-users] topology - topogeo_id <> mylayer.mypk

[Garret W]

Yes the table was "temp_trails", sorry for the typo.

I see what you are saying with the how geometries are updated with the set
topogeom etc. It makes sense to me.

I think because this is my first time using topology in Postgis that I
misunderstand what the results should look like. But I see now.

My end goal was to get topologically correct data, and split the lines at
intersections (the latter can not be provided by topogeom column in the
original data)...with this in mind I would need to use the geometries
created in one of the edge tables and associate it back to the original
attributes. Correct? In which case, Im assuming I could use the same
statement as the one I had mentioned earlier for joining.

What I dont understand is why in some cases the relations table has been
assigned the correct IDs from the original table and when it seems to
provide its own. The only thing I have been able to do to make sure I can
join each line back to its original attributes is to create a temporary
table in public, give it a brand new primary key, and then the ID seem to
carry over fine.
