Dear Selcuk, Thank you very much again for the reply. Yes, I can control the geometry. Is there some way by which I may convert the following "invalid" polygon geometry to "valid" in postgis: INSERT INTO mygis_table( poly) VALUES( ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON(-5.8335446 43.3655635,-5.8336337 43.3655207,-5.8349218 43.3673341,-5.8345197 43.3674013,-5.8336182 43.3660938,-5.8335037 43.365924,-5.8334505 43.3658461,-5.8334702 43.3657311,-5.8335446 43.3655635)', 4326)); On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 4:58 PM, SELCUK AYDIN <selcuk.aydin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello Rose, > > I checked that queries it Works.
