I don't understand what is a 3D polyline.

Your 3D points have x, y coordinates and a z value. If you make your polyline 
from a selection of points in a raster DEM, you will just have a polyline 
representing something from the 3D. With st_simplifiy, you will symplify this 
representation.

Instead your polyline is a multiline, I think you can use st_simplify instead 
of st_simplifypreservetopology.

Hugues.

Objet : [postgis-users] 3D polyline simplify
 
Does *ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology : *work with a 3D polyline as well? So if
I had a linestring which I composed from several
3D points using ST_MakeLine, would the DP algorithm still work?

Cheers,
