ST_COLLECT null treatment

[bitner]

ST_COLLECT behaves differently than I would expect it to behave if an array with a null value is passed in. Rather than either completely bailing on a null value or returning a collection without the null value either not included (which is what I would love to see ) or containing an empty geometry it simply includes all values in the array until the null value is encountered.

Tests: SELECT ASEWKT(ST_COLLECT(

ARRAY[

makepoint(0,0), makepoint(1,1), makepoint(2,2)

]

)); — MULTIPOINT(0 0,1 1,2 2) SELECT ASEWKT(ST_COLLECT(

ARRAY[

null, makepoint(0,0), makepoint(1,1), makepoint(2,2)

]

)); — null SELECT ASEWKT(ST_COLLECT(

ARRAY[

makepoint(0,0), makepoint(1,1), null makepoint(2,2)

]

)); — MULTIPOINT(0 0,1 1)
