Examples
--Return all features that fall reside or partly reside in a US national atlas coordinate bounding box --It is assumed here that the geometries are stored with SRID = 2163 (US National atlas equal area) SELECT feature_id, feature_name, the_geom FROM features WHERE the_geom && ST_SetSRID(ST_MakeBox2D(ST_Point(-989502.1875, 528439.5625), ST_Point(-987121.375 ,529933.1875)),2163)
