Question

I got one column (latlon) which is a ST_MultiPolygon.

The other geometry is a point which I just want to check if it is inside one of my MultiPolygons.

I tried:

SELECT ST_CONTAINS(latlon, ST_GeometryFromText('POINT(48.208417 16.372472)')
FROM districts

It always returns false; why can’t I check if a point is within a multipolygon with ST_Contains?

Answer 1

it worked like this:

SELECT name, st_contains(latlon, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(16.391944 48.218056)', 4326))  FROM bezirks
