    This document provides information about several PostGIS functions including: - ST_LineToCurve which converts LINESTRINGS and POLYGONS to CIRCULARSTRINGS and curved polygons. - ST_MemUnion which performs the same union operation as ST_Union but in a more memory efficient way, using less memory and more processor time. - ST_Intersects which checks if two geometries spatially intersect.

    --For polys e.g. polygon landmarks, you can also use the sometimes faster hack that buffering anything by 0.0
    -- except a polygon results in an empty geometry collection
    --(so a geometry collection containing polys, lines and points)
    -- buffered by 0.0 would only leave the polygons and dissolve the collection shell

    7.9.11 ST_LineToCurve
    Name
    ST_LineToCurve Converts a LINESTRING/POLYGON to a CIRCULARSTRING, CURVED POLYGON

    Synopsis
    geometry ST_LineToCurve(geometry geomANoncircular);

    Description
    Converts plain LINESTRING/POLYGONS to CIRCULAR STRINGs and Curved Polygons. Note much fewer points are needed
    to describe the curved equivalent.
    Availability: 1.2.2?
    This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
    This method supports Circular Strings and Curves

    Examples
    SELECT ST_AsText(ST_LineToCurve(foo.the_geom)) As curvedastext,ST_AsText(foo.the_geom) As
    non_curvedastext
    FROM (SELECT ST_Buffer(POINT(1 3)::geometry, 3) As the_geom) As foo;
    curvedatext
    non_curvedastext

    7.9.12 ST_MemUnion
    Name
    ST_MemUnion Same as ST_Union, only memory-friendly (uses less memory and more processor time).

    Synopsis
    geometry ST_MemUnion(geometry set geomfield);

    Description
    Some useful description here.
    Note
    Same as ST_Union, only memory-friendly (uses less memory and more processor time). This aggregate function works
    by unioning the geometries one at a time to previous result as opposed to ST_Union aggregate which first creates an
    array and then unions

    This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

    Examples
    See ST_Union
