[postgis-users] st_makeline

Hi

I am trying to learn the basics of Postgis by populating a table with 
various geometries.

When I run this -
Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makepoint(0 2));

it results in a point which I can see on the viewer.

However, when I run the following, or any variation of coordinate syntax to 
obtain a line, I get a syntax error.

 Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makeline (0 2), (0 1));
Or
Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makeline (0 2, 0 1));
Or
Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makeline (0 2 0 1));
Or
Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makeline (0, 2, 0, 1));
Or
Insert into graphics.process (the_geom) values (st_makeline (0, 2), (0, 1));

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Bob
