[postgis-users] Setting Units in PostGIS

[Jeff Grice]

Hello all,

 

I'm a newby to PostGIS and have what I believe is a simple question.
How do I determine what units PostGIS is returning?  When I calculate
the area of a polygon or the distance of a line segment, how can I set
it to return Square Miles or miles or feet?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff
