With MariaDB 10.1, I get a simplified LINESTRING when I provide two lines can be joined.



SELECT ST_AsText(geom)
FROM (
SELECT ST_Union(
LineString(Point(0,0),Point(1,1)),
LineString(Point(1,1),Point(2,2))
) AS geom
) AS t;
+---------------------+
| ST_AsText(geom) |
+---------------------+
| LINESTRING(0 0,2 2) |
+---------------------+


But with PostGIS I get a MULTILINESTRING



SELECT ST_AsText(geom)
FROM (
SELECT ST_Union(
ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(0,0),ST_Point(1,1)),
ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(1,1),ST_Point(2,2))
) AS geom
) AS t;
st_astext
--------------------------------------
MULTILINESTRING((0 0,1 1),(1 1,2 2))


It's important that the return type in MySQL seems to be dependent on the geometeries, change the second line to ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(2,2),ST_Point(3,3)) and you'll get the same thing in both.



SELECT ST_AsText(geom)
FROM ST_Union(
ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(0,0),ST_Point(1,1)),
ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(2,2),ST_Point(3,3))
) AS geom
) AS t;
+--------------------------------------+
| ST_AsText(geom) |
+--------------------------------------+
| MULTILINESTRING((0 0,1 1),(2 2,3 3)) |
+--------------------------------------+

st_astext
--------------------------------------
MULTILINESTRING((0 0,1 1),(2 2,3 3))


With MySQL on ST_Union of LineString(Point(0,0),Point(1,1)) and LineString(Point(1,1),Point(1,0)) you actually get back LINESTRING(0 0,1 1,1 0)
