[postgis-devel] What is the correct way to remove a sql-signature

[Nicklas Avén]

Thanks Sandro. It is solved. It was just me didn't see the connection between the doc files and comments so I searched the wrong place. I had forgotten to update documentation according to the updated sql-signature.

Are you saying that "./configure" complains ?
Can you paste the exact error message ?

Regenerating comment.sql ( should be done by "make" ) should fix the
problem, but if you remove a signature you should also put it into the
postgis_drop_before.sql ( or postgis_drop_after.sql ) file for proper
upgrading procedure.

Changing signatures is always expensive, better to think a lot
before adding any.
