George, You need to put source.track_cl into the table list for your query...
hint - it is in the table list for your sub-select, but not for the main query, I know some people scorn indenting, but : SELECT gid, name, track_use, st_astext(clipped_geom) FROM ( SELECT source.track_cl.gid, source.track_cl.name, source.track_cl.track_use, (ST_Dump(ST_Intersection( extents.tiles.the_geom, source.track_cl.the_geom ))).geom As clipped_geom FROM source.track_cl INNER JOIN extents.tiles ON ST_Intersects(extents.tiles.the_geom, source.track_cl.the_geom) WHERE extents.tiles.name='BP33' ) As clipped WHERE st_geometrytype(clipped.clipped_geom) = st_geometrytype(source.track_cl.the_geom); cheers Ben On 11/05/2011, at 11:15 AM, George Washington wrote: > Hi, I have the following query: > > SELECT gid, name, track_use, st_astext(clipped_geom) > FROM (SELECT source.track_cl.gid, source.track_cl.name, > source.track_cl.track_use,(ST_Dump(ST_Intersection(extents.tiles.the_geom, > source.track_cl.the_geom))).geom As clipped_geom > FROM source.track_cl > INNER JOIN extents.tiles > ON ST_Intersects(extents.tiles.the_geom, source.track_cl.the_geom) where > extents.tiles.name='BP33' ) As clipped > WHERE st_geometrytype(clipped.clipped_geom) = > st_geometrytype(source.track_cl.the_geom); > > which gives me: > > ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "track_cl" > LINE 6: ...metrytype(clipped.clipped_geom) = st_geometrytype(source.tra... > SQL state: 42P01 > Character: 471 > > > On the other hand this version of the same query works (only the last line > differs): > > SELECT gid, name, track_use, st_astext(clipped_geom) > FROM (SELECT source.track_cl.gid, source.track_cl.name, > source.track_cl.track_use,(ST_Dump(ST_Intersection(extents.tiles.the_geom, > source.track_cl.the_geom))).geom As clipped_geom > FROM source.track_cl > INNER JOIN extents.tiles > ON ST_Intersects(extents.tiles.the_geom, source.track_cl.the_geom) where > tiles.name='BP33' ) As clipped > WHERE ST_Dimension(clipped.clipped_geom) >0; > > I cannot figure out what is wrong with the first query. > Many thanks. > George > _______________________________________________ > postgis-users mailing list > postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net > http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
