#4040 closed defect

Provide opt-out for autofix in overlay functions — at Version 2

Reported by: dbaston Owned by: pramsey
Priority: blocker Milestone: PostGIS 3.0.0
Component: postgis Version: master

Description (last modified by dbaston)

A subset of the overlay functions was recently updated to automatically run ST_MakeValid on invalid input geometries. If the new behavior is to be the default, it should be documented and an opt-out mechanism made available for users concerned with data integrity.

Alternative: since an opt-out method would be complex, revert the changes and add documentation showing how a user can easily implement an exception-handling overlay wrappers at the PL/PGSQL level.
