Now I want to create lines from these points by vehicleid and ordered by timestamp. But, and that's my problem right now, at first I want to include every column of my point table into the "line table" and I also need to intersect those lines at specific points.<o:p></o:p></p><p>I have one column representing the "taxi_is_occupied" status with 0 or 1. <o:p></o:p></p><p>What I want now is to create lines which are divided every time this status changes. In the end I need lines which show the path of every taxi over time, divided every time the status of the car changes so that I can query all lines where the taxi is occupied, for example.<o:p></o:p></p><p>What do I have to use therefore? I know that there is the ST_MakeLines tool existing in PostGIS, but as I am a new PostGIS user... I do not know exactly how to use it to get the results I need. <o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Thanks a lot<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
