[postgis-users] Spliting polygons to lines

[David William Bitner]

The "cheating" way to go back and forth between Multilinestring and Polygon
is to just do a string replace on the AsText form:
geomfromtext(replace(astext(the_geom),'POLYGON','MULTILINESTRING'),-1) for
poly -> multiline

I think that there's a more elegant method in newer releases perhaps.
