Hello, thank you for your reply. Yes, essentially I have done this exact 
SQL, but when I export it using quantum gis or FME, i get the following 
projection parameters

Geographic Coordinate System:    GCS_WGS_1984
Datum:     D_WGS_1984
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:     Degree



whereas, I would like these parameters:

Geographic Coordinate System:    Geographic Coordinate System
Datum:     WGS84
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:     degree



We need it to be like this and are using the following projection to 
create it:

GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate 
System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137,298.257223560493],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]
