Hi Regina,

Yes, I found this via Google. After the update, it now indeed errors out on a 404. ST_Collect also no longer mentions it, so that seems fine now.

I do slightly wonder by the way why ST_Accum wasn't simple re-implemented as a wrapper around 'array_agg'. While I appreciate breaking changes may be necessary and are to be expected for a major version update like 2.x to 3.x, in this particular case, where wrapping the function would have been an easy solution, could have avoided breaking existing code with minimal effort and maintenance overhead.

Anyway, the required code changes are luckily minimal as well, just replace 'ST_Accum()' with 'array_agg()' as per the OSGeo tickets I saw, so that is not a big deal. I have now implemented this in my own code.

Marc,

Yes stray doc.  Did you find this via google.  Looks like that page last got updated 4/17/2019.   It’s the nature of how we build the docs that the updates overwrite existing for a particular Minor version, but don’t delete.

So it existed early in the life cycle of 3.0 but was later removed

Anyway I’ve deleted ST_Length2D_Spheroid.html and ST_Point_Inside_Circle.html which also seemed to have the same issue

It is mentioned in changelog and removed from the docs. For some reason there is stray page from older release.

    But it hasn't been mentioned in the docs? Whoops... time for an

        Tom,

        It now appears the PostGIS team indeed removed 'ST_Accum', but
        forgot to update the online PostGIS Help. I see two OSGEO
        tickets related to this:

        https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/4356

        https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/changeset/17397

        Both mention replacing 'ST_Accum' with 'array_agg'.

            Tom,

            One more question:

            After successfully installing the PostGIS 3.0.1 extension
            using CREATE EXTENSION in pgAdmin4 on PostgreSQL 12.3 on
            Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, I now ran into an issue where it
            appears the 'ST_Accum' function is missing in my PostGIS
            install. My code calls this, and it failed. I then had a
            look at the function list in pgAdmin, and indeed
            'ST_Accum' is not listed. I do see loads of other PostGIS
            functions, just 'ST_Accum' seems missing (although I
            cannot garantuee there are a few more missing functions,
            but the list seems pretty comprehensive from a quick look,
            and the CREATE EXTENSION call went without a hitch).

            Can you confirm you see 'ST_Accum' in your PostGIS 3.0.1
            function list if you look in pgAdmin? The PostGIS Help
            does not mention some deprecation of this function:

                Whatever lives in /usr/local/lib was my manual build
                so I had to delete that manually.

                I did  `sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libgeos*` (same for
                proj and sfcgal)

                On top of that I purged all old package configurations
                `sudo apt purge <packagename>` just to be sure but I
                don't think it is needed.

                    Hi Tom,

                    Thanks for the tip, but what did you do to remove
                    the old install? Did you rely on Apt or Synaptic
                    to remove the old libgeos version, or did you
                    manually clean up folders? I had two versions of
                    libgeos as well (3.7 and 3.8) if I remember well
                    (need to start up the VM again to check), and
                    removed the older one through Synaptic just
                    leaving the 3.8 version, but that wasn't enough to
                    solve my particular issues.

                        I think I solved it.

                        The issue lies with gdal, not postgis (test by
                        running `gdalinfo`), and it turns out there
                        was an old install of libgeos (3.7) in my
                        /us/local/lib. After simply removing all
                        related files in /usr/local/lib gdal (and
                        postgis and qgis) stopped complaining (I had
                        to remove old installs of geos, proj and
                        sfcgal for that).

                        This issue put me on the right track:

                            I have seen a similar error related to the
                            "libgdal26" library, but that was after
                            other trials to get something running on
                            Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, where I successfully
                            installed PostGIS 2.5.4, but then
                            encountered issues when my code called the
                            "postgis_full_version()" function and
                            errored out with the error message below
                            related to the "libgdal.so.26" library.
                            However, as said, this was with PostGIS
                            2.5.4, not with the PostGIS 3.0.1 I
                            actually want to install at this moment
                            and that gave the other error related to
                            the "postgis-3.so" library.

                            Sorry for the short answer, am on the way
                            currently. Will try to do a decent report
                            tonight.

                            Error is roughly the same but comes from
                            libgdal26 in my case when doing apt
                            install qgis after an upgrade to 20.04.
