[postgis-users] Doubt about toTopoGeom tolerance

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi,

I have looked into the documentation, and it seems that there are two form
of using toTopoGeom:
1. One to add new topogeometry an existing topology layer, and another to
change an element. This is what you seem to be using.
2. The second form, with less arguments, is used ADD changes to existing
topoGeometries. But, it says you may want to use clearTopoGeom(topo) to
create a totally new shape.

My gut feeling is that since you already have the topogeometry in the
topology, when you try to add it again, it will snap to the old geometry
any way.
My first try would be something like:

UPDATE lines_table
SET topo = topology.toTopoGeom(geom, clearTopoGeom(topo), 0.1)
WHERE id = 1263;

Good luck,

Alexandre Neto
