    It seems very complicated for what I need...no other ways to do:<br>
    <br>
    " give me the feature ID which contains this point"?!<br>
    <br>
    I was trying using something like:<br>
    <br>
    SELECT gid,the_geom FROM salzburg WHERE ST_Contains(the_geom,
    ST_PointFromText('POINT(47.7 13.01)', 900913));<br>
    <br>
    but the result is 0 rows.<br>
    <br>
    Is this approach correct?<br>

      lines or polygons you may build the bounding box of them and try
      it with st_xmin etc.<br>
      It did it this way:<br>
      <br>
      SELECT id,tags,linestring<br>
      FROM ( SELECT id,tags,linestring,(each(tags)).key AS key FROM ways

                      I have a shape file inserted into a postgis
