This worked, many th
If the point is inside the polygon, the distance between them is 0.
Can't get closer than that!
You may want to try ST_ClosestPoint(ST_Boundary(poly), point)

The point is within a the closed polygon poly, the version is postgis 2.0
is there any sane reason why this behave in this manner. I had expected
to the value of the x/y coordinate pair from the polylgon that is nearest
