[postgis-users] Adding point Data to a geometry table

[Gerhard Engel]

Hello,

these are my first steps with postgis/postgres on an window XP machine.

I try to insert data into an geometry table altered successfully with:
SELECT AddGeometryColumn('public', 'station','station_geom', -1, 'POINT', 2)

Mycommand is:
INSERT INTO public.station (sname,station_geom)
         VALUES ('Schluchsee', GeomFromEWKT('SRID=-1;POINT(8.2 47.8)'))

The error message is: "ERROR:  array value must start with "{" or dimension 
information". I do not understand where the "{" should be written. 
According to the documentation I browsed through, my syntax should be ok.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,
Gerhard
