Does SQL guarantee left-to-right evaluation and short-circuiting of AND checks the way that C does? I must confess I have no clue. However, if it doesn't, that might be what's causing your headaches. I'd try moving the SRID filter into a WITH construct or a sub-select just to see what happens: WITH filteredgeom AS ( SELECT * FROM gvt WHERE ST_SRID(geometry) = 4326) SELECT * FROM filteredgeom WHERE within(geometry, ...) ; Probably lots of syntax errors (haven't had breakfast yet) but you get the idea... -- Ture _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
