Thanks, Frank. I wasn't aware I could do it like that.
We have been using FME (basic edition, without PostGIS support) for years, and I agree it's very good. My client will probably have to buy it either way, for many of their other tasks.
regards,
Jacob

Jacob,
FME is an excellent investment for any shop doing a lot of GIS
data processing. However, if the primary concern is splitting
a gis layer into geometry type specific layers, this can be
accomplished as described in the second FAQ at:
