[postgis-users] decode geometry

[Bruce Rindahl]

The project PgArc uses Visual  Basic to parse WKT format into a shapefile
for ArcGIS so this would not help.  If you are successful in decoding WKB
please post and I will try to include it into PgArc.

Thanks

Subject: [postgis-users] decode geometry

 

Hello, we're trying to view PostGis data from Visual Basic using a binary
cursor
(trough ODBC) because features in some tables has too many points and the
function astext() returns strings unacceptably large (about 400 KBytes).We 
think that receiving it as binary will decrease size and increase
performance. Does anybody know how can we decode geometry data from wkb or
any documentation about it?
Thanks.
