[postgis-users] Question about Crosses(geometry, geometry)

[Matt Doughty]

David,

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work. It returned the following error:

>ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "polygons"

Hi Matt

instead of

select lines.* from lines,polygons where not 
crosses(lines.the_geom,polygons.the_geom)

try

select lines.* from lines where not 
crosses(lines.the_geom,polygons.the_geom)

don't use a call to polygons' table
