Which is a valid INSERT statement in PostGIS?
For example, a valid insert statement to create and insert a PostGIS spatial object would be: INSERT INTO geotable (the_geom, the_name) VALUES (ST_GeomFromEWKT (‘SRID=312;POINTM (-126.4 45.32 15)’), ‘A Place’)
What’s the easiest way to get data into PostGIS?
If you can convert your data to a text representation, then using formatted SQL might be the easiest way to get your data into PostGIS. As with Oracle and other SQL databases, data can be bulk loaded by piping a large text file full of SQL “INSERT” statements into the SQL terminal monitor.
Which is the geodetic geometry type in PostGIS?
The geography type provides native support for spatial features represented on “geographic” coordinates (sometimes called “geodetic” coordinates, or “lat/lon”, or “lon/lat”). Geographic coordinates are spherical coordinates expressed in angular units (degrees). The basis for the PostGIS geometry type is a plane.

How to insert a point into a SQL query?
When working with WKT in an SQL query, it must be text, and not mixed-in with the SQL. Your query works if you properly format the WKT (remove the “,”) and set an SRID. For this method, ST_GeomFromText (wkt, srid) works well: If you have columns with numeric longitude/latitude, you can directly make a POINT geometry:
