Is there a way to extract the coordinates from a point datatype? I'd like to do something like select x_coord(pnt), y_coord(pnt) from table_with_points; And if there is a way to extract the points from a polygon that would be great too. I looked through the results of \df and \do, and it appears the only solution is to use the distance between the point and line((0,0),(1,0)) and line((0,0),(0,1)). -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not speaking for anybody "A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction into a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day." - Calvin discovers Usenet ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
