that should have been <= ST_NPoints(..)

Try
 
SELECT n As id, ST_PointN(ST_Boundary(the_geom),n) As the_geom FROM (SELECT
ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON ((0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 1 0, 0 0))' ) as
the_geom) As foo
CROSS JOIN generate_series(1, 10000) As n WHERE n  < ST_NPoints(the_geom)

1) The above will only work with POLYGONS that don't have holes.  If you
have holes then you have to decide how you will store the id for the holes.
Also if you have polygons, you'll need to dump them first.
2) you need to set 10000 to a number greater than the number of points you
have in any particular polyon.  so to figure that out
3) The foo subquery you can replace with any table

SELECT MAX(ST_NPoints(the_geom))
FROM yourtable

Hello 
 
i try to have the points that make one polygon in one table as follow.
 
i have the following polygon
 
polygon (0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 1 0)
 
i need it to be in a table where the results looks like 
 
id :  the_geom
1  :  point(0 0)
2  :  point(0,1)
3  :  point(1 1)
4  :  point(1,0)
 
i try to use st_dump(the geom) from polygon
 
it does not work
it is important to me to assign id for each point
 
 
thanks
