problems</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello List,<BR><BR>I am currently testing OpenGIS.<BR>I am also
quite new to postgres as I only want to use it as GIS<BR>backend but I know
how to use RDBMs in general.<BR><BR>I installed PostGIS and created the
neccessary tables for the metadata<BR>and I also was able to follow some of
the examples at the beginning of<BR>the manual.<BR><BR>But now I have a
problem:<BR><BR>INSERT INTO ROADS_GEOM (ID,GEOM,NAME )
VALUES<BR>(1,GeomFromText('LINESTRING(191232 243118,191108
243242)',-1),'Jeff<BR>Rd');<BR><BR>gives<BR><BR>ERROR: new row for
relation "roads_geom" violates check
constraint<BR>"enforce_srid_geom"<BR><BR>I understand what this generally
means but I don't understand it in<BR>GIS context.<BR>What am I doing wrong? I
am trying to understand the whole thing so<BR>removing the constraint may help
in this case but won't explain the<BR>problem to me..<BR><BR>Thanks in
advance<BR><BR>--
