Hi!
I'm new to PostGIS and am tasked with making some existing queries work
on different PostGIS versions. I am currently dealing with
ST_Estimated_Extent and have a question regarding its behavior changes
across different versions.
In some failure cases (e.g. empty table) the method returns null. But
this was not always so, "[p]rior to version 1.5.4 an exception was
thrown instead"[1, 2]. But I know that at least in 1.3.3 it also returns
null and was told that this changed some time in 1.4.x.
I did not find anything to that effect in the release notes[3]. It would
be great if someone could point me to a source which documents when the
behavior changed from "return null" to "throw an exception".
Thanks in advance
