[postgis-users] Convert from Lat/Long point to postGIS geometry

[Brent Wood]

Hi.
Try something like:

update <table> set <geometry column> = ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(Longitude, Latitude),4326);
Essentially create a point geometry from your numeric values, with the ST_MakePoint() function, the inform Postgis it is a standard lat/long CS (EPSG:4326 - which you should have specified when you created the column), & update the table with these values for each row. Make sure you use your table & column names....
What mapping/GIS program are you using?

Cheers,
  Brent Wood

Hi All,
I have one table (Town info) in postgres without Geometry field.I have Latitude and Longitude information for those points data separately (collecting & filling).

I created the postGIS extension and add the Geometry field in the above postgres table.Now, I'd like to add the location information into the postGIS geometry field so that I can immediately view those points on the map. 
How can I convert the Latitude/Longitude value into postGIS geometry value?
Thank you very much in advance.
