Hello!

I have a table with two text fields "lat" and "long" of character
varying type.
I've created a field the_geom with type geometry.

How do I calculate the_geom field with an sql query?
The table is huge - about 1.5 million records, so I think the fastest
way to do this is to use pointfromtext function, but I can't figure out
how to put in the values of "lat" and "long" fields inside function
arguments.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.
