[postgis-users] Difference between @ and ST_WITHIN/ST_CONTAINS

[Frank Durstewitz]

Thanks Josh and Paul for the clarification.

Best regards, Frank

PS: Yesterday, before i asked, i read the manual, but somehow i had not 
realized that the operators work with boundingbox, while the ST_ 
functions work with the geometry. Sorry for the noise...
