[postgis-users] Points and Polygons table

[Paragon Corporation]

Its preferable to store them in a different table.  It really depends what
you are planning to do with these.  I would suggest though that since you
are new to PostGIS it would be best to stick with the standard conventions
of different geometry types/srids in different tables.  You can mix them
together, but there are caveats involved if you want to ever display these
in Desktop apps or using web mapping servers/feature servers if you go down
that road.

I imported some points from a shapefile to a PostGIS table.  But I can't
insert polygons into the same table because of the constaint below.  Should
I store points in a different table from polygons or put them together in
one table and remove the following constaint?

enforce_geotype_the_geom 	CHECK (geometrytype(the_geom) =
'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR the_geom IS NULL)
