For geometry/geography better planner selectivity and a lot more functions. - - - Important / Breaking Changes - For full detail of breaking function changes, please refer to - #1962 ST_Segmentize - As a result of the introduction of geography support: - The construct SELECT ST_Segmentize('LINESTRING(1 2, 3 4)',0.5); will result in ambiguous function error. - You need to have properly typed object e.g. a geometry/geography column, use ST_GeomFromText -
