[postgis-users] HOWTO Identify a polygon object by point??

[Düster Horst]

Hi
 
I aim to identify polygon objects from a layer by an input point (p.e.
parcel number from parcel polygons at point 624000/245600). The following
select
 
select number from parcels where wkb_geometry &&
GeometryFromText('POINT(624000 245600)',-1);
 
don't produce a result.
 
Perhaps I don't understand these features but boundingboxes could overlap
and pacrels shouldn't overlap. My hope that somebody outside has a solution
for this problem???
Please let me know!
 
Regards 
 
Horst
