Hi

I have a table holding a number of rows of points which I want to translate 
from covering Box 1 to covering Box 2.

When I use the following all of the points are translated to the same central 
position (200 points stacked upon each other)

 insert into fluids (one)
 select st_translate(graphics.point_grid.the_geom,
 st_x(st_centroid(library.dgm_process.the_geom)) -
 st_x(st_centroid(graphics.point_grid.the_geom)),
 st_y(st_centroid(library.dgm_process.the_geom)) -
 st_y(st_centroid(graphics.point_grid.the_geom)))
 from  library.dgm_process, graphics.point_grid
 where library.dgm_process.process_number = '1'
 and graphics.point_grid.number = '1' ;
I've tried variations of the above without success.

When the same points are collected in a st_union operation occupying a single 
row the preceding works well.

I need these points in separate entities in order to select particular points, 
using the following -

insert into fluids (one)
 select st_translate(graphics.point_grid.the_geom,
 st_x(st_centroid(library.dgm_process.the_geom)) -
 st_x(st_centroid(graphics.point_grid.the_geom)),
 st_y(st_centroid(library.dgm_process.the_geom)) -
 st_y(st_centroid(graphics.point_grid.the_geom)))
 from  library.dgm_process, graphics.point_grid
 where library.dgm_process.process_number = '1'
 and graphics.point_grid.number = '1' 
 and st_within( graphics.point_grid.the_geom, 
st_box2d(library.dgm_process.the_geom)) = 't'
 and graphics.point_grid.the_geom <<| st_centroid(library.dgm_process.the_geom) 
;

Is there some method of which I am unaware, for translating single points to a 
new location with the same relationship one to another??
