Hello, I've just got postgresql93-server installed, with postgis21-postgresql93 
on a CentOS system.

I then used shp2pgsql to load in some shape files using this procedure:

http://suite.opengeo.org/docs/latest/dataadmin/pgGettingStarted/shp2pgsql.html

The shapefiles were obtained from NWS:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/html/pubzone.htm

Everything appears to have been written to the database properly:

polydata=# select state,time_zone,zone,name,lon,lat from polys where state='CO' 
limit 10;
 state | time_zone | zone |               name               |      lon       |

polydata=#

My goal is to construct a query providing lat/lon such that the result returned 
is the single row poly containing that point.

Does anyone know how I would construct this query?


Thanks!

Joseph Spenner
