Marcus, It would help if you provided the sql statement you were trying to run that gave you a problem.
Hope that helps, Regina -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcus C. England Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 7:45 PM To: PostGIS Users Discussion Subject: [postgis-users] Spatial Operators Hi all, Well, moving to PostGIS as a spatial data format has helped a lot with trying to learn SQL, but I still have problems with the SQL syntax for spatial operators. Here is what I want to do: Layers: (1) basin_grading: polygons representing the impact area of a proposed basin, plus 100' and 200' buffers. Whether the polygon represents grading or a buffer is stated in attribute column "land_use" (2) new_vegetation: polygons representing vegetation communities. The community names are in attribute column "veg_". The problem: I would like to use sql to generate a table of vegetation types and the acreages impacted by each land use in "basin_grading". I would assume you would use "ST_Intersection", but I have tried to alter quite a few examples of its use that I found on-line and I always get an error about my syntax. Tips, pointers, etc are greatly appreciated. -Marcus _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
