When do I get an error on addgeometry?

When do I get an error on addgeometry?

The type must be a string corresponding to the geometry type, eg, ‘POLYGON’ or ‘MULTILINESTRING’ . An error is thrown if the schemaname doesn’t exist (or not visible in the current search_path) or the specified SRID, geometry type, or dimension is invalid.

Do you need to register views in geometry columns?

Views and derivatively created spatial tables will need to be registered in geometry_columns manually, since AddGeometryColumn also adds a spatial column which is not needed when you already have a spatial column. Refer to Section 4.2.4, “Manually Registering Geometry Columns in geometry_columns”.

When to throw an error in geometry columns?

An error is thrown if the schemaname doesn’t exist (or not visible in the current search_path) or the specified SRID, geometry type, or dimension is invalid. Changed: 2.0.0 This function no longer updates geometry_columns since geometry_columns is a view that reads from system catalogs.

How to add column Geom geometry in WGS84?

So for example building a wgs84 POINT column with this function is now equivalent to: ALTER TABLE some_table ADD COLUMN geom geometry (Point,4326); Changed: 2.0.0 If you require the old behavior of constraints use the default use_typmod, but set it to false.

When to update geometry columns in PostGIS 2.0?

Changed: 2.0.0 This function no longer updates geometry_columns since geometry_columns is a view that reads from system catalogs. It by default also does not create constraints, but instead uses the built in type modifier behavior of PostgreSQL.

Can a view be manually registered in geometry _ columns?

Changed: 2.0.0 Views can no longer be manually registered in geometry_columns, however views built against geometry typmod tables geometries and used without wrapper functions will register themselves correctly because they inherit the typmod behavior of their parent table column.
