[postgis-users] error with overlay and disjoint

[Emilia Venturato]

Hi all,

I'm trying to extract from a postgis table (the_geom of table1: 25.000 
records) all the id of that records wich overlay (also partially) with a 
study_area (the_geom of table2).
I try:

select a.id, disjoint (a.the_geom, b.the_geom) from table1 a, table2 b where 
disjoint (a.the_geom, b.the_geom) is false;
select a.id, overlay (a.the_geom, b.the_geom) from table1 a, table2 b where 
overlay (a.the_geom, b.the_geom) is true;

In both queries, I had an error:
ERROR:  GEOS disjoin() threw an error!
ERROR:  GEOS overlay() threw an error!

I tryed with a subsample (900 records) and the select worked.
Have you same suggestion? Could it be a problem in the (too large?) number of 
records?
Thank you in advance.
Lia
