i have my Vector Data saved in a PostgreSQL PostGIS enabled Database. The Data im displaying is very detailed, i want to simplify it through the simplify() method of Postgis.
I duplicated one of my tables (for test purposes to not mess up the real thing) and then used the simplify func"select ... simplify(...)..."
I got a result and inserted into the geom part of my new table. After i created a new layer with this table as spatial information, whenever i click on Layer preview, im not greeted with a map, but with a download prompt for an xml which tells me i have an error.
Am i using the function wrong ?? or is my approach inside of geoserver wrong ??
Could i possibly save my current data as a shapefile, then simplify this and then let it be processed with pg2sql or something like that ??
Whenever i add the Layer to my Geoserver and press compute Bounding Boxes, geoserver comes up with 0, -1, 0, 1 .
Sorry if i have alot of questions but im really really stuck.
