[postgis-users] point to multipoint

[Nathan Widmyer]

ST_Collect worked for me.
I have a column of multipolygons.  I can take the ST_Centroid of each
multipolygon and it produces a multipoint.
Don't have the SQL at hand, but it's something close to:

UPDATE table SET geom_multip=(SELECT
ST_Collect(ST_Centroid(geom_multipoly)) FROM table2 WHERE
ST_IsValid(geom_multipoly)) WHERE id=X

Take that SQL as you need to use it.
