No, I get the same thing with WKB.

create table tmp (geom geometry);
insert into tmp values ('0105000000010000000102000000020000000000000000004740000000000020414000000000000054400000000000204140'::geometry); insert into tmp values ('0105000000010000000102000000020000000000000000005440000000000020414000000000000054400000000000004E40'::geometry); insert into tmp values ('01050000000100000001020000000200000000000000000047400000000000004E4000000000000047400000000000204140'::geometry);
select astext(st_union(geom)) from tmp;

                                 astext
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 MULTILINESTRING((46 60,46 34.25),(80 34.25,80 60),(46 34.25,80 34.25))
(1 row)

As Regina asked, what version of PostGIS are u using?
select postgis_full_version();

Perhaps, that's the problem.

I don't receive an error when merging your geometries together.

create table tmp (geom geometry);
insert into tmp values ('MULTILINESTRING((46 34.25,80 34.25))'::geometry);
insert into tmp values ('MULTILINESTRING((80 34.25,80 60))'::geometry);
insert into tmp values ('MULTILINESTRING((46 60,46 34.25))'::geometry);
select astext(st_union(geom)) from tmp;

                                 astext
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 MULTILINESTRING((46 60,46 34.25),(80 34.25,80 60),(46 34.25,80 34.25))
(1 row)

I've attached an sql dump of the table tank_lin.

Hope this helps.

Attach the shape file to a bug in the bug tracker and I will have a look.

They are three lines that, on Quantum GIS, display as a flat U - a simple tank. Using either tank_lin or process_dgn tables - exactly what I imported
using dxf2postgis.

'Select as text' returns three rows each with the expression
"Multilinestrings" followed by brackets and coordinates.

'Select St_Union' returns - unknown geometry error.

Are you thinking there is something wrong with the installation?

Are these big geometries?  What does

SELECT ST_AsText(the_geom)
  FROM tank_lin;

Also just to rule out its the table you are inserting into - does the
Union without inserting work?

Select   ST_Union(the_geom)
from tank_lin;

Hi Regina

It gives me three rows each with the expression "ST_MultiLineString"
with nothing else.

Bob,

Strange. I don't think I have ever seen quite that error before.
What does

SELECT ST_GeometryType(the_geom)
FROM tank_lin;

give you?

Regina

I tried this -

Insert into graphics.process_dgm(the_geom)
Select   ST_Union(the_geom)
from tank_lin;

and got the error "Unknown geometry type: 0"

You don't want the GROUP BY. It is grouping the union op on

distinct

geometry... ie, one per row. Remove it and you'll get what you

want,

one output row.

Hi

I am attemptijng to use the ST_Union function to collapse

three rows from

a
table called tank_lin into one row in table called

process_dgm.

Here's what I used -
Insert into graphics.process_dgm(the_geom)
Select   ST_Union(the_geom)
from tank_lin
Group by tank_lin.the_geom;

The result is three rows inserted into process_dgm, each row

appearing to

be
simple copies of each of the original rows.
I also attempted group by another column but received error

'unknown

geometry'.

I also tried STR_LineMerge with similar results.

What am I not considering?

Bob
