Hello, I'm working on a location-awareness system for wi-fi devices here
at the University of Tennessee, and the database is built on
postgreSQL/postGIS.  I'm finding the documentation very minimal when it
comes to db queries.  Do you know of a source of openGIS sql examples?
Perhaps you could wiki-ize the documentation on your site so that users
can contribute examples also?

For example, my problem right now:  I have a table full of points.  I
would like a multipoint geometry of points returned by a select
statement, but the only way I understand to do this now is to select a
list of points, then outside postgres in my script, create the
multipoint text, and select a Mpointfromtext() from the database.  Am I
missing something?

Any help appreciated.

cheers
karlis
