There is also the function in the wiki that will give you an srid in UTM for
a given wgs 84 long lat point.

Just a refresher, 

WGS84 is a Datum
UTM is a Projection that can use WGS84 as its Datum

Hi Lelo,

yes, normally it's very simple. If you know the SRID of the projection you
want to transform your geometry to, you only have to use

ST_Transform(your_geometry_column, new_srid_number) 

(see:
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.5/ST_Transform.html)

If you don't know the new SRID, I suggest a search at
http://spatialreference.org/

Regards,

Birgit.

Hi All,

I'm starting to work with postgis and I have to transform geometries from
WGS84 to UTM. Are there a simple way to do that using just the postgis?

Thanks for all
