updating with askml function

[pere roca]

hi everybody,

I'm very interested to update my postGIS (1.2.1 for window$) adding the asKml function.
How and where can I get it? and the most important: how to integrate/import this function? is necessary to update all the PostGIS extension? (I'm afraid of losing data).

Thanks in advance,
Pere

 me again...
 I've just seen a message of Paul Ramsey on Jan 12, 2007: "The 1.2.1 release of PostGIS is now available. This is a minor bug fix release...between others, the New AsKML() function".
 Should then find it in http://svn.refractions.net/postgis/tags/1.2.1/   (I can't find it...) and then...
 thanks,

 Pere

The asKML function is part of the liblwgeom.dll so you really need to
upgrade postgis to use it.

Probably the easiest way to go is to bite the bullet and upgrade to 1.3
using one of the following windows binaries

http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/

and then run the Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\share\contrib\postgis\lwpostgis_upgrade.sql

on your database.



I haven't run into any problems doing that aside from forcing everyone
off the PostgreSQL service before upgrading and the fact that the new
aggregate name functions don't get installed.  This will not effect your
asKML use.

In most cases (unless you are running pre 8.0 and pre 1.0 - its about a
5-10 minute install process).

At anyrate, you should backup your database with pg_dump before hand.

Hope that helps,
Regina
