[postgis-users] st_difference throws an error

[Francois Hugues]

Honestly, I don't know where it comes from, but st_buffer(geom, 0) often helps to "repair" polygon for some postgis operations.

Hi Francois.

This work!

Could be a bug in st_difference?

Thanks, Ángel

	Hello.
	
	I post this problem in http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/40872/st-difference-throws-an-error buy i'm sure in this mailing list people can help me.
	
	I'm retrieving "GEOSDifference: TopologyException: found non-noded intersection between" error when executing st_difference sql.
	
	Followed an example:

	    )
	);
	
	In gis.stackexchange.com i attached images with various shapes with this problem. 
	All share a common pattern. Some parts of edge are near to be parallel.
	
	
	How to resolve this problem? Is a bug?
	
	Thanks!
