Hi Romain, Assuming you have PostGIS installed and position is defined as a point or multpoint ADT then you could use the ST_Intersect operator SELECT * FROM map WHERE ST_Intersects(position, 'MULTIPOINT(-1 -1,1 -1,1 1,-1 1)'); Regards Andrew On 2010-09-26, at 12:27 PM, Romain Billoir wrote:

Hi, i'm trying to request a database using data type "point" using keyword "IN" with a list of point generated by PHP, like this: 'SELECT * FROM map WHERE position IN ((point(-1,-1), (point(1,-1), point(1,1), point(-1,1))' but this request returns me an error: operator doesn't exist point = point.
