But the text representation used for dumps etc. was changed to hex-encoded binary because of problems with rounding errors - there are some broken floating point libs on some platforms that tend to round differently when reading and writing, so dumping and reloading a table would shift some coordinates a little. Btw, to see the text representation, use asText() or asEWKT(). Regards, Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
