An example query using ST_SnapToGrid() would be:

UPDATE mytable
  SET the_geom = ST_SnapToGrid(the_geom, 0.001);

This query will "snap" your geometries to a precision grid of 10^-3.

The other variants are the same thing, but allow you to specify an 
offset origin other than the default of 0,0.

Ie.
The above query is the same as doing:

UPDATE mytable
  SET the_geom = ST_SnapToGrid(the_geom, 0, 0, 0.001, 0.001);

Because this function employs this "offset to origin" concept, care 
should be taken if you actually want to use this function to reduce the 
precision of your geometries.

Refer to this thread:

In the future, I see us leaving this method, but adding an 
ST_PrecisionReducer() method.

Cheers,
Kevin
