[postgis-users] error with overlay and disjoint

[Emilia Venturato]

Hi all.
Concerning my previous mail, I found the problem: it did not lay in the number 
of records.
Two the_geom have been made with GeomUnion function from adjoining shapes; the 
resulting shapes are multipolygon with internal divisions, and overlay gives 
an error with this kind of shapes.
Unfortunately, I did not find a command which removes the internal divisions 
(of course a workaround is to export it and edit it, but I would like to find 
a cleaner solution).
All the best.
