[postgis-users] Is possible to make this?

[Alberto Cavalli]

Hi, I'm a newbye of postgis and I don't Know the potentiality of it.
I'm going to make a project where I've 10 layers: one of parcels and the
others are a simple polygon.
When I make a query on a parcel, that intersect a portion of one polygon
(one of the other 9 layers) is possible to obtain the amount of area of
parcel that is in common with the polygon?
I hope that someone can answer to my question and can tell to me the right
way to do this.
thaks in advance
Alberto
