Hi all,

I'm using ST_Area and ST_Distance functions but getting values which make no sense in real world. I'm trying to measure some US Counties areas, how could I make it into square miles or square kilometers? May I use WGS84 georeference system?

Thank you.

What is the spatial reference of your data?

Can you paste a sample query with expected and actual result?

You may be interested in the ST_GeodesicLengthWGS84 function.
