[postgis-users] Correct use of ST_Transform

[Simon Greener]

Benton,

> /* Insert transformed records */
> INSERT INTO spl_road_centre_line(gid, the_geom)
> SELECT gid
>      , the_geom
>      , st_transform(the_geom, 4283)
>   FROM spl_road_centre_line_mga
>  ORDER BY gid ASC;

Why do you have 3 columns in the select writing into two in the INSERT? Shouldn't it be:

INSERT INTO spl_road_centre_line(
               gid, the_geom
)
SELECT gid, st_transform(the_geom, 4283)
   FROM spl_road_centre_line_mga
 ORDER BY gid ASC;
