More advanced methods exist in the PostGIS library to extract meaningful data from your geometry. Explore the PostGIS documentation and get familiar with functions such as, [ST_XMin](http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_XMin.html), [ST_XMax](http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_XMax.html), [ST_AsText](http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_AsText.html), and more.
All data returned from *the_geom* column is in WGS 83 (EPSG:4326). You can change this quickly and easily on the fly using SQL. For example, if you desire geometries in the Hanoi 1972 (EPSG:4147) projection, you could [ST_Transform](http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_Transform.html),
