[postgis-users] mixed srid geometries

[Emily Gouge]

A SRID is stored with the geometries as well as in the geometry columns table.  So you likely need 
to update the SRID associated with the geometry too.  Try the setSRID function.

update table_name set the_Geom = setSRID(the_geom, -1)

To view the SRID associated with the geometries in your tables you could try:
select distinct SRID(the_geom) from table_name;
The geometries in the tables you wish to do a spatial joins on need to have the same SRID.

As well in order to make your query faster you might want to add spacial indexes to the tables and 
use the && operator.


Hope that helps,
Emily
