When writing data to PostGIS I want my data to be written into the table as multipolygons so I set the Geometry on the Writer to be multipolygon:
However, features that don’t conform to this geometry are being dropped. Leaving Create Generic Spatial Types gives me geometry types that I don’t want to be written into my database (i.e.- geometry collections).
It would be great to have an option on the Writer to simplify geometry so my features will still be written. Similar to the Collection Type Handling on the SQL Server Spatial Writer.
I would say it is better to have your geometry valid before it enters the writer. Otherwise you'll never be sure how postgis will handle the changes to the geometry.
