Hallo Nicklas

fortunately I have linestring version of the polygon, but it seems that the 
linestirings are not continuous. Does st_distance still apply? Or are there any 
postgis function to make the polyline continuous?

kind regards,

Hallo

I think the easiest way is to make a linestring of the polygon.boundary and 
then cut the line in the start and end so you get two more or less paralell 
lines. Then you can use st_distance to find the shortest distance between them.

Hope that helps

could not find any clue.
