[postgis-users] How can I convert a geometry column to polygons

[Brent Wood]

I have a table with a polygon geometry table. I want to select a subset of the
polygons via an area, which is defined by another polygon.

I can sort of get the result using intersection() but the result is a set of
geometries, not polygons. 

How can I turn these into polygons?

Thanks,
