[postgis-users] polygon Extraction problem

[Birgit Laggner]

Hi Bruce,

if you use ST_Dump like this, the resulting data type will be an array 
consisting of geometrie and path (internal number of the polygon). In 
order to just get the geometries, you would have to use this kind of query:

select (st_dump(shape)).geom as the_geom from weather_poly;

If you're writing this in a new table you will be able to access it with 
QGIS.

Regards,

Birgit.
