Jo,
Your update syntax should be
UPDATE standorte
SET lk = l.lk
FROM landkreise as l
WHERE
ST_Contains(l.the_geom,standorte.the_geom) = TRUE;
Note - your below query is not using indexes. If you are using Postgis
1.2.1 or above, use the new
ST_Contains instead (that will use indexes since it automagically adds
the && operator)
If you are using older PostGIS, then use
l.the_geom && s.the_geom AND Contains(l.the_geom, s.the_geom)
Hope that helps,
Regina

Subject: [postgis-users] contains syntax
Hi all,
I have 2 tables:
1. table "landkreise" (polygon) with column "lk" (names of
administrative
borders (polygons))
2. standorte (point) with column "lk" (empty, I want to write the name
of
the administrative borders from the polygon-feature that contains the
point)
When I use following select-statement it seems to work:
SELECT l.lk FROM landkreise as l, standorte as s WHERE
contains(l.the_geom,s.the_geom) = TRUE;
When I want to update the column "lk" in table standorte allways the
same
name is written:
UPDATE standorte SET lk = l.lk FROM landkreise as l, standorte AS s
WHERE
contains(l.the_geom,s.the_geom) = TRUE;
What is wrong with my syntax?
Thanks
Jo
