Hello all,
           I am working with spatial tables. i have two spatial data tables, one represents the whole state and another table represents the damaged locations in the state. My aim is to find number of damaged locations in every county or parish.
Here i am giving the query i used to do this, could you please tell me whether i am doing right thing or not.

select count(*) from damagedlocations l1,county l2 where (l2.the_geom and l1.the_geom) and l2.parishid=particular_parishid;

thanks in advance.

What is your table structure?  I think you mean (l2.the_geom = l1.the_geom) .  If you use l2.parishid=particular_parishid
 then you are not going to get EVERY country or parish.

Have you run this query?  If so, what are you getting, is it right and if so why not?
