Hopefully this is a simple question. I know that ST_AsText returns a
geometry that is not necessarily as prescise as what is actually stored in
the geometry field. I have an editor that relies on WKT representation.
Anyrate just wanted to know if the ST_AsText does a rounding of the points
or it does a truncation of the points. Also would be nice to know if I
could control the precision of this since I will need to truncate my actual
geometry accordingly so that both are in agreement.
Thanks,
Regina
