[postgis-users] correcting polygons

Mon Jun 4 04:46:35 PDT 2007

The error means that you are trying to insert geometries with a
different SRID than the SRID that you specified for your new table.
Note your new table has an SRID = -1

My guess is that your original deparea table has an SRID different from
-1.

To check try 

SELECT distinct(srid(the_geom)) as the_srid 
FROM deparea

You should only get 1 record unless you have a mixed bag of SRIDs.  Now
whatever that srid is, your add geometry should use that instead of the
-1 you have in place.  So the line

SELECT AddGeometryColumn('public','deparea2', 'poli', '<WHATEVER SRID
YOU GOT ABOVE GOES HERE>',
'POLYGON',2);

Hope that helps,
Regina

Thanks Regina,

If you, or someone else, got the time I would be pleased if you can
explain this error code for me. I've tried to do some random changes :)
since I'm not very good at SQL.

ERROR (appears on the last SQL row):
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: new row for relation
"depare_area2" violates check constraint "enforce_srid_poli"

This is what I do:

SELECT geometryN(the_geom, generate_series(1, numgeometries(the_geom)))
AS poli FROM deparea;
CREATE TABLE deparea2 (gid serial, CONSTRAINT pk_deparea2 PRIMARY
KEY(gid));
SELECT AddGeometryColumn('public','deparea2', 'poli', '-1',
'POLYGON',2);
INSERT INTO deparea2(poli) SELECT geometryn(the_geom, generate_series(1,
numgeometries(the_geom))) As poli FROM deparea;
CREATE INDEX idx_deparea2_poli  ON deparea2  USING gist (poli);
UPDATE deparea2 SET poli = multi(buffer(poli, 0.0)) WHERE isvalid(poli)
= false AND isvalid(buffer(poli, 0.0)) = true;

Kind regards,
Paul

Forgot to mention before updating the field, its probably best to only
if you really need to and if updating will help so something like

UPDATE sometable
SET the_geom = multi(buffer(the_geom, 0.0)) WHERE isvalid(the_geom) =
false and isvalid(buffer(the_geom,0.0)) = true

Paul,

Not sure if this quite answers your question, but you would use an
UPDATE statement to update a geometry

So for example

UPDATE sometable SET the_geom = multi(buffer(the_geom, 0.0))

or 
UPDATE sometable SET the_geom = buffer(the_geom, 0.0)

Now generate_series explodes a row so in an update statement - doesn't
really make sense to use unless you want to do something with each
individual geometry and then collapse it back using something like
collect or geomunion.  As I recall from using buffer before, I think it
acts on each individual geometry in a multi set e..g in a multipolygon.
So doing a generate series is really not necessary to use buffer - it
sort of implicitly does that whole thing for you.  Someone correct me if
I am wrong on that assumption :)

The only thing to be careful of is that if you have a constraint on your
table that requires the_geom to be say a multipolygon,  when you apply a
buffer operation to it and there is only one geometry within the
multigeometry, buffer will convert that multipolygon to a polygon.  To
prevent that from happening, you would then apply the multi function.
multi function in essence wraps your single polygon into a multipolygon
encasement.

Hope that helps,
Regina

Thanks, Paul!

I'm not to good in SQL and have looked at old userGroup qestions and
found this (Regina Obe):
(converting multi polygons to polygons by creating a new tabel)
/////////////////////////////////////////
String table = "depare_area";
String qq;
myStat = con.createStatement();

qq= "SELECT geometryN(the_geom, generate_series(1,
numgeometries(the_geom))) AS poli FROM " + table;
Statement myStat2 = con.createStatement();
ResultSet myResult2 = myStat2.executeQuery(qq);

qq = "CREATE TABLE " + table + "2 " + "(gid serial, CONSTRAINT " + "pk_"
+ table + "2 " + " PRIMARY KEY(gid))";
myStat.execute(qq);

qq = "SELECT AddGeometryColumn('public','" + table + "2', 'poli', '-1',
'POLYGON',2)";
myStat.execute(qq);

qq = "INSERT INTO " + table + "2(poli) SELECT geometryn(the_geom,
generate_series(1, numgeometries(the_geom))) As poli FROM " + table;
myStat.execute(qq);

qq = "CREATE INDEX idx_" + table + "2_poli  ON " + table + "2  USING
gist (poli)";
myStat.execute(qq);
//////////////////////////////////////////////

Du you know how I at the same time can use your suggestion to use
buffer(xxxx, 0.0) to correct the polygons?

I have not found anything of how to update objects, only how to create
new objects.

Kind regards,
Paul

buffer(polygon,0.0) should re-build it with correct structure
