[postgis-users] Geometry column does not exist?

[SAIG - Listas]

Good morning Mark.

Try to put the Location column name between "" as the next:

insert into BathingArea (ID, Name, "Location")
  values ('Bathingarea_A', 'Bathing area A', GeomFromText('POLYGON((0.0
10.0,8.66 -5.0, -8.66 -5.0,0.0 10.0))',4326));

When you added the geometry column you indicated that the location 
column must be Location, with the l in uppercase. You must use then 
"Location" to refer to this column in your queries.

Hope this helps,
