[postgis-users] Combines polygons within a specified distanceto each other into new polygons.

[Paragon Corporation]

Peter,

Try


SELECT a.gid, ST_ConvexHull(ST_Collect(b.the_geom)) As the_geom
INTO polygon_convexhull
 FROM polygon1 As a INNER JOIN polygon1 As b ON
 ST_DWithin(a.the_geom, b.the_geom, 1000)
 GROUP BY a.gid
 HAVING a.gid = MIN(b.gid);


This should create a new table called polygon_convexhull consisting of the
convex hulls.

Thanks Regina for your hint,
find attached the polygons which i try to aggregate and a screenshot of how
it should look like at the end (brown are the results of the aggregation
that i would like to produce and pink are the original polygons).
The solution you proposed  did'nt produce the results that i want. Maybe i
make a mistake.
Anyway, thanks for your help!!

Kind regards,
Peter
