[postgis-users] newbie WITHIN query

[Alec Brecher]

I have searched the docs and am still a bit confused....

I have successfully (I think) loaded a set of Washington State polygons 
into a table with SRID 2285 (NAD83 ftUS Washington North).

When I try to test WITHIN with a point which I know is within one of the 
polygons:
SELECT district,
   WITHIN( pointFromText('POINT(-122.916725 47.046528)',2156), the_geom)
FROM dist

all districts return false. I have tested this point in MapInfo with the 
same projections and find the point within district 22.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  -Alec
