Hello.<br><br>What is the quickest way to combine 2 columns x and y into a single geometry column of type point?<br><br>Do I send the output of "select x,y from mytable" to a file (xy.out), then edit that file so that it each line has something like "INSERT INTO mytable (the_geom) VALUES (GeomFromText('POINT( 136.143781,35.816411 )',-1));" and then run<br><br>psql -d mydb -f xy.out<br><br>?<br><br>Is there a quicker way?<br><br>Cheers.<br><br><p>
