[postgis-users] inserting LL RR into box2d

[Obe, Regina]

Bounding boxes aren't OGC geometry types and also don't have SRIDs.  Try
just doing

insert into box_test (id, box) values (1, 'BOX(1459678 4793288, 1459878
4793488)');

it should automatically cast the string to a box2d object

If you want a valid OGC geometry then you would set your box field to
geometry instead of box2d and do something like
ANSI SQL compliant

insert into box_test values(1, setsrid(CAST('BOX3D(1459678 4793288,
1459878 4793488)' As box3d), 4326));

or PostgreSQL shorthand
insert into box_test values( 1, setsrid('BOX3D(1459678 4793288, 1459878
4793488)'::box3d, 4326));

 

Hope that helps,
Regina

here i am trying  to insert geometry for box2d,

4793288, 1459878 4793488)' 4326));
