Hi all.<div><br></div><div>I am currently developing a global vector grid from a set of centroid points.</div><div>My data includes a csv file defining the x and y coordinate of each point.</div><div>These points are imported into a table. I then add a point geometry field and apply the ST_MakePoint function to create the point features.</div>
<div>All well. However, the next step is to create a bounding box for each of the points. </div><div>In other words, I want a vector cell of 0.5 decimal degrees surrounding each point. I have tried using the ST_MakeEnvelope function as this allows me to use the x and y coordinate, and subtract and add 0.25 to the centroid x and y value.</div>
<div>However, I have not been able to use the ST_MakeEnvelope as i receive an error.</div><div>I cannot figure out what i am doing wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>I have attached my sql below. Thanks for any help i might get.</div>
