Hi All,

I have a set of points with (x,y) co-ordinates that belong to a single object ex: a segment in a road network.

If we made a LINESTRING that connected these points (x,y), then I would like to have a BAND or RANGE

around the linestring of say 10 meters wide that would probably make it look more like a polygon or some 

area. How can I achieve this in postgis 2.0? Do I need to use some library like GDAL in order to achieve this?

Cheers,

Ed
