[postgis-users] Three point ARC to MULTILINESTRING

[Paul Ramsey]

Use the CIRCULARSTRING type, and the ST_CurveToLine(geometry) function
to convert it to a linestring.

CREATE TABLE test ( GEOM geometry );
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('CIRCULARSTRING(0 0, 1 1, 2 0)');
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_CurveToLine(geom)) FROM test;
