[postgis-users] simplify

[Stephen Crawford]

One last question and I'll leave you all alone for the day :)

If I want to generalize my data, I should simplify()?  So if the data are in
decimal degrees, then is the tolerance decimal degrees?  Something like
this?

CREATE TABLE accipiter AS SELECT 
	gid,engl_name,sci_name,origin,Simplify(the_geom,0.01) as the_geom
FROM all_species
WHERE family='Accipitridae';

Thanks,
Steve
