Hi,



Yes, you're certainly right, there must be other way of doing that, it's an old 
bigger script which I was revisiting. I just extracted a small part of it. It 
uses pgplsql because the purpose is to create tables of results. Using 
st_AsEwkt was the only way I found to get geometry from a loop and pass it in 
another loop.



Thanks,



Olivier

Somehow I feel there is no need for plpgsql in what you are doing and that 
indeed the ST_AsEwkt is too much.

I can't wrap my head around what this script is exactly trying to do though. 
Can you elaborate a bit on your use-case? What is the original data and what 
would you like to know from it?





Best,

 Tom

Hi,



I'm using pgplsql to calculate shortest distance between points. This works but 
I'm wondering if my code is optimized because I'm using many ST_AsEwkt.



sqls='SELECT id code,ST_AsEwkt(ST_StartPoint(the_geom)) as 
geom1,ST_AsEwkt(ST_EndPoint(the_geom)) as geom2 FROM ' || schem || '.trench';

FOR row IN

            EXECUTE (sqls)

LOOP



            sqls1='SELECT id 
code1,ST_Distance(ST_AsEwkt(the_geom),St_AsEwkt(''%2$s'')) FROM %1$s.nodes 
order by ST_Distance(ST_AsEwkt(the_geom),ST_AsEwkt(''%2$s'')) LIMIT 1';

            sqls1=format(sqls1,schem,row.geom1);



            FOR row1 IN

                        EXECUTE (sqls1)

...



Would it be possible to have a smarter syntax with less ST_AsEwkt ?



Thanks,



Olivier
