[postgis-users] Re: problem with BOX3D query

[Randy George]

Hi,

	It looks like the pdf manual p21 4.4.1 should be updated to synch
with the html manual.

Thanks
Randy

No, it's not. It was supported by previous PostGIS versions,
but since 1.0.0 it is not more possible to use it as
an argument to OGC input functions. A cast from BOX3D to
GEOMETRY is still present, so you pass that construct
to any function taking GEOMETRY, as it will be automatically
converted to a Polygon type.
