<P>I upgrade the couple postgres-postgis from versions 0.8.0 to 1.0.0.</P>
<P>I restore my data either with the postgis restore utility and also the shp2sql utility.</P>
<P>For the 2 usecases, when I read the geometry data field through pgadmin3 or my jdbc application I receive binary data "00Ab2D ......... " instead of LINESTRING ...... , I need to add an explicity casting with astext function. </P>
<P>Is it normal?</P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> </html>
