PostGIS'ers,

 I've got a table of overlapping polygons.  How can I make it a table of 
non-overlapping polygons?

For example, if table "polys2" contains two polygons A1 and B1 which overlap.  I'd like 
to create table "polys3" with polygons A2, B2, C2, where C2 is the overlap region of A1 
and B1, and A2 = A1 - C2, and B2 = B1 - C2.

Looking at the overlay operations in the JTS doc it looks like doing an 
Intersection (to get only the overlapping area) then adding the Symmetric 
Difference (to get the non-overlapping areas) might work.

Am I on the right track or is there an easier way (since all the polygons are 
in one table)?

Thanks!
Brent Fraser
