Luckily it doesn't work if you have geometry data since the functions are missing cascade drop. I'm tempted to say we should take this out of 1.4. I think it needs more work. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/225> PostGIS <http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/> PostGIS _______________________________________________ postgis-devel mailing list postgis-devel@... http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-devel

They might accidentally run it thinking it simply just removes the functions not realizing the irreversible consequences. I'm thinking most people that woudl want to run it won't have geometries and they just accidentally installed PostGIS and want to remove it from their db. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/225#comment:2> PostGIS <http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/> PostGIS _______________________________________________ postgis-devel mailing list postgis-devel@... http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-devel
