[postgis-users] OK to have polygon and multipolygon in same geometry field?

2012-02-19 Thread Aren Cambre 
I have a PostGIS dataset imported from a TIGER places SHP for Texas
(gz_2010_48_160_00_500k). I imported using QGIS's
supposedly-soon-to-be-deprecated SPIT tool.

The import causes the the_geom field to have both polygon and multipolygon
types.

Any harm with this? I ultimately want to use this table's the_geom field to
find points within them that are in another table.

No harm from a PostGIS PoV. External software that wants type
homogeneity might complain, perhaps.
