[postgis-users] breake lines

[Lars Aksel Opsahl]

Hi

Another option to handle merging off different simple feature datasets into a single dataset can be Postgis Topology.

What we basically do is that we pipe the datasets into Postgis Topology which solves the problems related to breaking up lines and snap to.

Then we take the data out as simple Feature from Postgis Topology and the users can continue to work on a nice a clean simple feature dataset.

We have done this for datasets containing millions of points and it works quite nice..

Lars

Hi,

If I understand your question correct, yes I would like to break all lines in the intersections with another layer.

No I have not tried MultiLinestrings comprised of all lines that are intersecting the lines to be broken. Don’t know how to do this. :(



This is how far I have come:



CREATE TABLE splittedlayer3

AS SELECT ST_CollectionExtract(ST_Split(o.the_geom, c.the_geom),2) as the_geom

FROM "orgLayer" o, "cutLayer" c WHERE ST_Intersects(o.the_geom, c.the_geom)



But this gives duplicate line segments when intersecting the cutting lines twice.

Have you tried using ST_Split passing each input line and for the second argument a MultiLineString comprised of all lines that it might intersect (obtained via BBOX or ST_Intersects query)?  It seems like that should not create any duplicate linework from the input line.



As far as I know there's no other way to do this using current PostGIS functions.   It's an interesting requirement - it sounds like essentially you want to node one layer against another.  There's actually the machinery to do this internally in PostGIS/GEOS, but it's never come up as a requirement before, so has not been exposed as a function.



What is your use case?

I think it must be possible, but I’m not that skilled in SQL and I’ve not found any examples on the net.
