title: PostgreSQL: Casting two separate numeric values to a point
body: <p>I'm trying to change the application schema of a database in Postgres...so I need to copy data from one table to another. In the original table, co-ordinates are specified as numeric values in two separate columns, one for the x value and one for the y value. In the new table, the co-ordinates need to be stored as one value of the point data type. How would I cast the two separate numeric values into one that is a point?</p>
