[postgis-users] ST_Extent of table

[Javier de la Torre]

Hi all,

I need to calculate the extent of a full table. My understanding is that this function will do a full scan of the table to calculate it. Is it possible to get the extent of the table from the index somehow so that is not needed to scan the full table? I also dont need it very precise if that helps in any way.

Thanks!
