Is it possible to insert an entire
FeatureCollection
into geography field?
For example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idoivri/israel-municipalities-polygons/master/zvulun/zvulun.geojson
You can separate out each of the features and convert them to a geography record per each row. You could store the entire feature collection in one row as a geography type as one massive multi-geometry record, but that's ill-advised because you'd likely hamstring most common PostGIS queries.
How would it look like?
