[postgis-users] how to identify the_geom that cause : RelateOperation called withLWGEOMCOLLECTION type

[Obe, Regina]

Many of the GEOS relation functions do not work with collections.

You must have a geometry collection in there somewhere or its a bug.
Also which relation function were you trying?

To figure out the type of your geometries, run

SELECT *
FROM sometable
WHERE GeometryType(the_geom) = 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION'

Hi Ghislain,

What the query that failed looks like ?
The message is telling that one geometry has an invalid type.
In your query, you could try to ask for ST_GeometryType(geometry) and
a geometry identifier to see which geometry has the wrong type.
If you perform a spatial operation, it is possible that
geometryCollection is produced.
You could maybe split your query into smaller block to see where such
collections are generated.
