- STATUS:
--
--  All objects are created in the 'topology' schema.
--
--  We have PostGIS-specific objects and SQL/MM objects.
--  PostGIS-specific objects have no prefix, SQL/MM ones
--  have the ``ST_' prefix.
-- 
-- [PostGIS-specific]
--
-- TABLE topology
--  Table storing topology info (name, srid, precision)
--
-- TYPE TopoGeometry
--  Complex type storing topology_id, layer_id, geometry type
--  and topogeometry id.
--
-- DOMAIN TopoElement
--  An array of two elements: element_id and element_type.
--  In fact, an array of integers.
--
-- DOMAIN TopoElementArray
--  An array of element_id,element_type values.
--  In fact, a bidimensional array of integers:
--  '{{id,type}, {id,type}, ...}'
--
-- FUNCTION CreateTopology(name, [srid], [precision])
--  Initialize a new topology (creating schema with
--  edge,face,node,relation) and add a record into
--  the topology.topology table.
--  TODO: add triggers (or rules, or whatever) enforcing
--        precision to the edge and node tables.
-- 
-- FUNCTION DropTopology(name)
--    Delete a topology removing reference from the
--    topology.topology table
--
-- FUNCTION GetTopologyId(name)
-- FUNCTION GetTopologySRID(name)
-- FUNCTION GetTopologyName(id)
--    Return info about a Topology
--
-- FUNCTION AddTopoGeometryColumn(toponame, schema, table, column, geomtype)
--    Add a TopoGeometry column to a table, making it a topology layer.
--    Returns created layer id.
--
-- FUNCTION DropTopoGeometryColumn(schema, table, column)
--    Drop a TopoGeometry column, unregister the associated layer,
--    cleanup the relation table.
--
-- FUNCTION CreateTopoGeom(toponame, geomtype, layer_id, topo_objects)
--    Create a TopoGeometry object from existing Topology elements.
--    The "topo_objects" parameter is of TopoElementArray type.
--
-- FUNCTION GetTopoGeomElementArray(toponame, layer_id, topogeom_id)
-- FUNCTION GetTopoGeomElementArray(TopoGeometry)
--    Returns a TopoElementArray object containing the topological
--    elements of the given TopoGeometry.
--
-- FUNCTION GetTopoGeomElements(toponame, layer_id, topogeom_id)
-- FUNCTION GetTopoGeomElements(TopoGeometry)
--    Returns a set of TopoElement objects containing the
--    topological elements of the given TopoGeometry (primitive
--    elements)
--
-- FUNCTION ValidateTopology(toponame)
--    Run validity checks on the topology, returning, for each
--    detected error, a 3-columns row containing error string
--    and references to involved topo elements: error, id1, id2
--
