[postgis-users] Test a point in a geomety...

[Nick Ton]

Hi,

I am a newbie to PostGIS queries, I was wondering if this is an appropriate
or efficient way for testing if
a point is in a geomety.

SELECT name from airport_tbl where
truly_inside(the_geom,GeomtryAsText('BOX3D( -99 50.2, -99 50.2)',-1)) =
true;

It would be great if someone would teach a class on just creating effective
queries on PostGIS. There's so much
that you can do with it.

Thanks,
Nick
