ST_Segmentize

ST_Segmentize takes a linestring column and a numeric column or value representing maximum segment length and returns an array column. This function creates an array of linestrings from the input linestring by breaking the input linestring into segments that are shorter than or equal to the maximum length specified. The maximum segment length is in the same units as the input geometry.
