[postgis-users] Buffer

[RAVI KUMAR]

Hi all,
  am attempting mineral prognostication.
  Input:  Have a shape files with Linear features
  Can I buffer this with  'width' taken from the shape files attribute = buf-width
  
  Output: The result to contain a polygon layer with the Input's liear  features grown as buffers depending on the attribute= buf-width.
  
  Have seen the PostGIS mnnual and found the following only.
  ST_Buffer(geometry, double, [integer]) 
  
  Can this work as suggested ?
  
  Cheers
  Ravi Kumar
