Something I did notice though-- it seems that if the input polygon completely 
surrounds a polygon stored in my database, it is not included in the result.  I 
read something about this here: http://postgis.net/docs/ST_Overlaps.html

  "Returns TRUE if the Geometries "spatially overlap". By that we mean they 
intersect, but one does not completely contain another."
I do need the polygons which are completely contained as well.  Can this be 
done?
Thanks again for the help.  I'm getting there!

Rémi:  Yes, that worked perfectly.  Thanks!  My input poly will be stored in 
another database (maybe just another table).   It would be nice to perform the 
query all on 1 line (get the poly and use it for the query), but I can query 
the first table first to get the input poly, then use that for the 2nd query 
without too much difficulty.
Thanks again for the responses!

Something like this?

SELECT  zone,gid,state,name,ST_Asgeojson( geom ) 
FROM polys 
WHERE ST_Overlaps(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((-109 42,-108 42, -108 43; -109 43, 
-109 42))', 4269), geom)=TRUE;

Cheers,

Hello, Maybe I don’t understand your problem very well but I think your query 
for points should work with a polygon using ST_GeomFromText 
(http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_GeomFromText.html) for your input polygon or a 
subquery if it stored into your DB. Hugues. De :

Objet : [postgis-users] Returning polygons if any of a polygon input points lie 
in the polygons Hello, I'm trying to perform a query which will return any 
polygons which have any points in common with an input polygon. So, if I have 
Polygon A.In my database, I have several other polygons stored. I want to 
submit a query with Polygon A as the input, which will return all of the 
polygons in my database which have any points in common with Polygon A. Can 
this be done?
I found this:http://postgis.net/docs/ST_Overlaps.html But from what I can tell, 
it only returns a T or F.   I need to fetch the actual polygons if T. I'm 
currently able to query with points as input: select 
zone,gid,state,name,ST_Asgeojson( geom ) from polys where 
ST_Intersects(ST_PointFromText('POINT(-109 42)', 4269), geom);

But now I have a need to use polygons as input.

Any help would be great.

Thanks! Regards,Joseph Spenner
