[postgis-users] Intersection - three tables

[Marcus C. England]

Hi Stanley,

I tried that several times and it never worked. Nonetheless, I copied 
your text and placed it into my query (replacing the original sum 
function) and it still did not work. I get this:

NOTICE:  IllegalArgumentException: This method does not support 
GeometryCollection arguments


ERROR:  GEOS Intersection() threw an error!

********** Error **********
