[postgis-users] Converting a Polygon geometry column to PolygonZ

[Tim Sutton]

Dear PostGIS Geniuses :-)

I am in the process of converting many of my tables from using XY to XYZ. For point tables I did it by adding a new geom2 column and populating it like this:

UPDATE poi SET
  geom2 = st_geomfromewkt( 
    'SRID=20790;POINT(' || 
    st_x(st_transform(geom, 20790)) || 
    ' ' || 
    st_y(st_transform(geom, 20790)) || 
    ' 0)');
    
Then dropping the geom column and renaming geom2 to geom.

I’d like to also have my polygon and line sting layers become Z enabled. Are there any functions that do this or do I have to come up with a way to deconstruct the geometries to vertices, use a method like above and then reconstruct them?

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Tim
