What is the difference between point and multipoint ? linestring and multilinestring ? polygon and multipolygon ? In PostGIS
What is the secret behind defining “Multi” shapes?
“Multi” means, that several objects of that kind are “grouped” together to single object. For example, imagine Philippines.
