artemp/tickets2issues — Issue #498: Use Find_SRID in postgis driver

We might be able to simplify the postgis driver code slightly by using this query to get the srid on the fly when the geometry is requested:

http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/Find_SRID.html

An example query could be:

{{{
#!sql
select AsBinary(force_2d("web_geometry"),'NDR') as geom,
"gid"
from table
where geometry && GeomFromText('POLYGON((-7401525.8578125 1695023.0321875,-7401525.8578125 2318749.0478125,-6777799.8421875 2318749.0478125,-6777799.8421875 1695023.0321875,-7401525.8578125 1695023.0321875))',
find_srid('','table','geometry'))
}}}
