[postgis-users] PostGIS Topology Pledge: completed !

[Sindile Bidla]

Thanks strk,

I was trying to use the topology functions.

UPDATE public.sa_provinces
  SET topogeom = toTopoGeom(the_geom, 'sa_provinces_topo');

I get the following message:

ERROR:  function totopogeom(geometry, unknown) does not exist
LINE 2:   SET topogeom = toTopoGeom(the_geom, 'sa_provinces_topo');
                         ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might
need to add explicit type casts.


Before running this function i used SET serch_path TO topology, public;

Any pointer what might i be doing wrong.
