Risposte:
Oltre a ST_AsText (che restituisce la geometria come WKT / Well Known Text), esistono diversi formati di output aggiuntivi, come ST_AsGeoJSON ().
Dai un'occhiata a http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.0/reference.html#Geometry_Outputs e scegli, cosa si adatta meglio alle tue esigenze.
Utilizzare ST_AsText per visualizzare l'oggetto punto:
SELECT ST_AsText(the_geom)
FROM myTable;
Per visualizzare X , Y e l'oggetto geom:
SELECT ST_X(the_geom), ST_Y(the_geom), ST_AsText(the_geom)
FROM myTable;
st_x(st_centroid(the_geom))
Con un tavolo in UTM
SELECT
ST_X(table.geometry) AS X1, --point x
ST_Y(table.geometry) AS Y1, --point y
ST_X(ST_TRANSFORM(table.geometry,4674)) AS LONG, -- longitude point x SIRGAS 2000
ST_Y(ST_TRANSFORM(table.geometry,4674)) AS LAT, --latitude point y SIRGAS 2000
ST_ASTEXT(table.geometry) AS XY, --wkt point xy
ST_ASTEXT(ST_TRANSFORM(table.geometry,4674)) AS LongLat --using st_transform to get wkt with longitude and latitude (4674 is the SIRGAS 2000 SRC by south america)
FROM
table
SELECT * ST_AsText(the_geom) FROM table2;
