Hello everybody,

I am wondering if the geometric datatypes of the PostgreSQL system allow
the following queries.
The database should contain the box datatype which is used as the index.
The system should allow queries like "Retrieve all boxes that are
contained in the query box". Is that possible with the standard types of
the system?
