Hi Chandler,

Did you check projection system of the both Geometries? Just to make sure, use 
ST_TRANSFORM as inner function.

Hello,

I am a newbie to PostGIS.  I am hoping some one can explain to me why the 
following simple query doesn't return any info:



SELECT f.fact_name

FROM factory AS f, inner_area AS i

WHERE i.name = 'Dewsbury'

AND ST_WITHIN (f.geom,i.geom);



I have geom in as a column and I have 'Dewsbury' as a polygon record in 
inner_area and there are 5 records in factory that fall within this polygon.  
But the resulting table shows that none were selected.



My assumption here is that the SQL statement is correct, but that something is 
wrong with the tables:  could it be how I imported the two tables from 
shapefiles.



Thanks,

Chandler
