How would I provide that? Source, methods, destination?
Thanks,

Ah, missed this one very clear message amongst the plethora my search
returned.
I see that the request for a documentation fix was made here, also
(nine
months ago). Looking at the documentation, I see a place to report
bugs in
PostGIS <http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch07.html>, but does
this
include documentation "bugs"? :-)

ST_Union seems to replace GeomUnion.

Being new to PostGIS, I've been looking at other people's code
snippets and trying to figure out what they do. I'm a bit mystified
by "geomunion()", though, as it's not in the PostGIS docs, though
there are many references to it in the mailing list archives. Is
this
the same as "ST_Union()" <http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/
ch06.html#id2595344>?
I see a statement at the beginning of Chapter 6 that "PostGIS has
begun a transition from the existing naming convention to an SQL-
MM-
centric convention. As a result, most of the functions that you
know
and love have been renamed using the standard spatial type (ST)
prefix."
From this I can conclude that ST_Union() used to be Union(),
and in
that section it says "NOTE: this is renamed from "union" because
union is an SQL reserved word" which implies that even from very
early on it was different than Union(), perhaps GeomUnion(). But if
this is the case, this name change should also be explicitly
documented.
If there was a general renaming from Geom* to ST_*, that is also
not
documented that I can find.
Confirmation requested, and if necessary documentation for all such
unusual name changes.
Thanks,
