[postgis-users] RE: Translate node by node

I'm trying to create a new Postgis table (X,Y) by reading the existing
Postgis table (x,y) and calculating the new node positions based on the
formula below.
For example:

X(New) =  R1 + xA1 + yA2 + xyA3 + x2A4 + y2A5
Y(New)  =  R2 + xB1 + yB2 + xyB3 + x2B4 + y2B5
The formula is to convert from a projection to another. A, T, B are just
parameters.

I got 2 options;
a) Use Transform function. Can't as it's a very custom map projection. Got
11 origins based on its states.
b) Use Translate function. This is just a shift function.

So far here's the SQL function

create table Newtable  as Select * from existingtable

Need to put something to replace the asterisk.

TIA
Nyon
