Creating an abitrary, curved Well Known Text LineString for display in OpenLayers

I am dynamically generating a WKT LineString between points in a map layer being generated for display in OpenLayers.

This works fine for multipolygons containing only one polygon, but some rows have polygons very spread apart, hence t...

PostGIS: register a "geometry" column without AddGeometryColumn

The usual way to create a geometry column is AddGeometryColumn, however I have to work with pre-existing columns, so I can't use that function (as far as I know).
