<br>
For some reason ST_Collect doesn't give exactly the same result. For example
I'm trying to merge european countries in one shape and with ST_Collects it
omits England and other islands while ST_Union includes them. <br>
Anyway, my union finished after 4 hours.<br>
I'm joining two tables on an ST_Intersect, one of which has ~15000 features
(polygons) and the other just one (a complex polygon). The query's been running
for two hours... I hope I'll see the end of it before the end of the day! (I've
set the indexes where I could and tuned PostgreSQL)<br>

Regina! Indeed ST_Union generated the polygon, invisible in PgAdmin!! <br>
<br>
It creates a nice layer when I open it in uDig. <br>
<br>
However when I export it with pgsql2shp, the shape is unreadable by ArcView
with the errmsg: Number of shapes does not match the number of table records.<br>
<br>
Here's how I created the layer:<br>
<br>
create table europe_contour();<br>
SELECT addgeometrycolumn('db, 'europe_contour', 'the_geom',
32767,'MULTIPOLYGON', 2 );<br>
insert into europe_contour(the_geom) values( (select st_union(the_geom) from
europe));<br>
<br>
Then I generate the shapefile: <br>
<br>
"c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\pgsql2shp.exe" -u postgres -P
password -f europe_contour db europe_contour<br>

<br>
I've converted a shapefile of Europe to PostGIS. I would like to merge all the
countries together so that I only have one polygon left, the whole contour of
Europe. I have tried ST_Union that gives me no result. I've tried several other
functions to no avail. Does anybody know how I should proceed?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
Erik</span></font></p>
