Polygon Area Postgres

Can I have a polygon-column in Postgres? Is there a function to calculate the area of the polygon or at least the area of the bounding box? (without postgis)

Thanks

EDIT: area(path(w.poly)) works. Is it the same?

As you say area(path(w.poly)) works.

It calculates the area of a polygon or other geometric figure. It is correct.
