How to convert MultiLineStringZ object to MultilineString object?












1














I have CAD-data which I transformed to shapefiles. Currently after the transformation the objects still have a Z value which is useless to me.



My question is: How do I convert a MultiLineStringZ-object to a MultiLineString-object?

          There is a ST_Force2d function in PostGIS which does the job. A new table should be created with 2D geometry and use an insert statement with select to populate the new table:



          insert into new_table (geom, col1, col2, col3) 
          select ST_Force2D(geom), col1, col2, col2 from old_table;


          You should substitute your real column names into col1, col2, ...
          You can query the table structure with in psql



          d old_table


          or you can use pgadmin with GUI.
