[postgis-users] ST_CoveredBy supporting geography?

[Nicholas Bower]

I've read the 1.5 reference docs but can't figure out what is wrong with
below.  ST_CoveredBy(geography, geography) should work right?

  select count(*) from t_swath_metadata where ST_CoveredBy(
 ST_GeogFromText('SRID=4326;POLYGON((123.1773295292851 -16.07501950971949,
                          122.745660066063 -16.83965661151543,
                          124.1310486688905 -16.44978157737539,
                          123.1773295292851 -16.07501950971949))'),
swath_bounding);

ERROR:  geography_covers: only POLYGON and POINT types are currently
supported
CONTEXT:  SQL function "st_covers" statement 1
