[OpenLayers-Users] How to get information on clicking on a polygon

[kusum]

Hi Eric

Thanks for replying back.
I am able to fetch information from database. But the problem is that I am 
not able to highlight the polygon on map.
To highlight it on map I need all the points in it. But the database I have 
in postgresql has field goem and I am not getting how to convert the goem 
field into coordinates so that I can get points to highlight the polygon on 
map.

Please suggest any function if there in postgres to convert the goemetry 
field to cordinates or any other method if exists to highlight polygon using 
goemetry.

Regards
Kusum
