Hi, I have a very interesting problem, but I think some of you may have a solution for that.
When I try to model Russia with EPSG:4326 coordinates, I "run out of the bounds", e.g. Russia's extent is so wide, it overlaps the -180/+180 coordinate range of EPSG:4326, so the most eastern part is in the western Hemisphere. When inserting points to the geometry column, PostGIS allows me to insert both (186,45) and (-174,45) (the former is out of the bounds of the reference, the latter is okay). When I query the database whether these two points are equal with ST_Equals, I get a false result , but in reality, they are the same. I think there should be a version of ST_Equals which compares the geometries taking into account their SRID.
