Hi Craig
Clever proposal!
I slightly tried to adapt it to the hstore involved.
Now I'm having a weird problem that PG says that "relation 'p' does not exist".
Why does PG recognize table b in the subquery but not table p?
Any ideas?
-- Stefan
SELECT b.way AS building_geometry
FROM
(SELECT way
FROM osm_polygon
WHERE tags @> hstore('building','yes')
) AS b,
(SELECT way, tags->'amenity' as value
FROM osm_poi
WHERE tags ? 'amenity'
) AS p
WHERE
(SELECT count(*) > 1
FROM p
WHERE p.value = 'pharmacy'
AND ST_DWithin(b.way,p.way,1000)
)
AND
(SELECT count(*) > 1
FROM p
WHERE p.value = 'school'
AND ST_DWithin(b.way,p.way,1000)
)
ERROR: relation "p" does not exist
LINE 14: FROM p
