[postgis-users] Trouble after upgrade to 1.4.0

[Peter N. Schweitzer]

I just upgraded from 8.3.7/1.3.5 to 8.4.1/1.4.0

I now get an error when running the following query:

select ST_Box2d(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_Extent(the_geom),4267),3395)) from ingeol_poly
ERROR:  function st_setsrid(box3d_extent, integer) does not exist
LINE 1: select ST_Box2d(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_Extent(the_geom),...
                                     ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

But I can do a number of ST_ functions, and mapserver seems to work
with postgis/postgresql.

So I assume I'm using the wrong combination of magic words to get the
information I want from the database.

What I'm trying to do is get the extent, in mercator, of all of the polygons
in a layer "ingeol_poly" whose native coordinate system is geographic NAD27.

Corrections of my misunderstanding would be very helpful!

Here's the postgis_full_version():

sgmc=# select postgis_full_version();
 POSTGIS="1.4.0" GEOS="3.1.1-CAPI-1.6.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009" USE_STATS
