[postgis-users] couldn't get the correct projected values

OK.  State Plane Coordinates are not the same as latitude and 
longitude.  They are a separate coordinate system like UTM.   I thought 
that it was just a different earth model optimized for the local area.
It is in this definition for srid 2204:
"+proj=lcc +lat_1=35.25 +lat_2=36.41666666666666 
+lat_0=34.66666666666666 +lon_0=-86 +x_0=609601.2192024384 
+y_0=30480.06096012192 +ellps=clrk66 +datum=NAD27 
+to_meter=0.3048006096012192 +no_defs
So Transform probably gives correct values.  I had the wrong srid for my 
data.
