[postgis-users] entering map references

[David Potts]

Hi

I am trying to enter a series of points in to a Postgis database.

I am new at this, my  points are expressed in the British National Grid

If I use the correct correct SRI entry for British National Grid, ie
27700, convert the grid refeerence to a Easting & Northing.

Are the Eastings and Northings the correct values for x y values of the
Point class?

e.g.  HU396753  to 439668,1175316.

Select AddGeometryColumn('theTable','theCol', 27700,'POINT',1);

Are the Eastings and Northings the correct values for x y values of the
Point class?



David.
