Lo siguiente me da el área del polígono en grados cuadrados:
SELECT ST_Area(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((871325.790874952 6105405.3261047,871418.748307692 6105359.72944624,871346.22022442 6105215.141258,871254.85408906 6105261.72007212,871325.790874952 6105405.3261047))',4326)) As sqm;
Resultado: 16586.2319335938
¿Cómo obtengo el área en metros cuadrados? Intenté lo siguiente:
SELECT ST_Area(ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((871325.790874952 6105405.3261047,871418.748307692 6105359.72944624,871346.22022442 6105215.141258,871254.85408906 6105261.72007212,871325.790874952 6105405.3261047))',4326)),31467) As sqm;
Pero parece que ST_Transform no funciona. Me sale el siguiente mensaje de error:
ERROR: function st_transform(geometry) does not exist

La falta de soporte de Proj no debería ser el problema, con SELECT PostGIS_full_version () obtengo
