OK, I'm getting better, but still very green using PostGIS.<br>
<br>
Given the SQL excerpt construct:<br>
buffer(PointFromText('POINT(39.0 -83.4)'),125.0)<br>
How do I tell PostGIS that the (39.0 -83.4) represents latitude and
longtitude (instead of some arbitrary x,y), and that 125.0 represents
kilometers (instead of meters, or miles)? As given, PostGIS thinks all
values in the construct have the same units.<br>
