 The function takes the name of two tables, and the names of a column from each of them (the id/primary key is the expected use) and the new table name to be created. I believe this approach will be memory limited because all of the linework, and the resulting polygons, are in memory at once and stored in a single (potentially very large) multi-geometry.
+
+Note that the result set will include resultants for areas which are in holes but which do not overlap any parent polygon.  
+If not desired these can be filtered out by keeping only records for which at least one id is non-NULL.
+
+== Worked Example ==

+This is the SQL from the above function, with example data:
