[pgrouting-users] Cleaning multilinestring vector network for routing via kDijkstra

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Eyad,

There has recently been a bug reported against pgr_nodeNetwork and it 
contains a patch to fix that problem. See:
https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/280

If you have multilinestrings then you might want to try something like:

st_geometryn(multiline, 1)

so you just select the first linestring in the multilinestring.
