<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Recently there was an interesting thread about "Cleaning non valid multipolygon". The goal there was to eliminate small polygons. This is similar to ArcGIS' ELIMINATE command, see <a href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?id=1398&pid=1394&topicname=Eliminate_(Coverage">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?id=1398&pid=1394&topicname=Eliminate_(Coverage</a>).</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Now, there is another command I remember from ArcGIS, called CLEAN (see <a href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=Clean%20(Coverage">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=Clean%20(Coverage</a>)). </div>

<div> </div>
<div>Among other's, it (1) deletes dangling lines that are shorter than a specified dangle length, and (2) merges coordinates within a certain tolerance of each other. <br></div>
<div>In case, someone has already resolved this using PostGIS, I'd be interested.</div>
