[postgis-users] distance function error

[John Hagstrand]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a point inside a polygon.  I found something on this list
that said to use the distance function.  But for me it won't seem to let me
compare two different geometries.  Here is my test query and error message.

select distance(GeometryFromText('POINT(0 0)',4326),admin02.the_geom)
from admin02

ERROR:  Operation on two GEOMETRIES with different SRIDs

Can you help?
Thanks
John
