[postgis-users] Difference between "Geometry" and "BLOB" in Postgis

So just for accuracy, I was incorrect, sort of.  While the functions that I
am currently using "contains, within, ..." will do the CAST implicitly, the
GIST index does not like the bytea type.  Which makes the adoption of an
actual geometry column even more urgent.

Thanks again,
