Funny this does work when I include st_box2d as in -

st_within( graphics.point_grid.the_geom, st_box2d(library.dgm_process.the_geom))

However, this will include points within the box yet outside of the actual geometry.

I have tried it with the point and geometry reversed with the same result.

Perhaps, I am not looking at this the right way.

According to the manual

st_within Returns TRUE if geometry A  (points) is completely inside
geometry B ( geometry).

If it scans the list of 858 points some of those points are within the
geometry - unless Postgis is looking at the 858 points as one entity.

Ooops, sorry, indeed you were right and used the function the right way. :)

Could you provide an example of a geometry & some points you're using ?

You might also try ST_Intersects or ST_Covers.
