[postgis-users] splitting a linestring with points

[Marcin Mionskowski]

When you split one linestring with one point you will get as a result two linestrings, thats why your result will be a GEOMETRYCOLLECTION. You can than "explode" it with st_dump.


Try the example below (one line and teo points "spliting" it -> 3 linestrings)

select
	st_astext(
		(st_dump(
			st_split(
				st_makeline(st_makepoint(0,0),st_makepoint(2,2))
		-- 		, st_makepoint(1,1)
				, st_multi(st_union(st_makepoint(1.5,1.5),st_makepoint(0.5,0.5)))
				)
			)).geom
		)

So I have to search another way, likely as Nicolas suggested with st_lineLocatePoint and st_lineSubstring, or using st_split one point at a time.
