<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The issue is indeed you are using Postgres polygons instead of PostGIS polygons. ST_MakePoint (note ST_ prefix) builds a postgis point.<br>
Non-working countertpart would be this:<br>
<font color="#000000" face="monospace">SELECT ST_WITHIN('(1,1)'::point, '(1,1)'::point ) ; </font></div>
<span style="font-family:monospace"><br>
