Circles created by points inside bounding box query - PostGIS

Question

The table that i want to perform this query has 3 columns: id, the_geom and seen_count.

The query i've been using to get points inside a bounding box is as follows:

SELECT id, ST_AsGeoJSON(the_geom) FROM table WHERE ST_Contains(ST_MakeEnvelope({0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, 4326), table.the_geom)

What i want to do is: selecting points, which are transformed to circles using their seen_count as radius, intersect with bounding box. Is it possible? If so, would it be an expensive query? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Thanks to Micha, i found the answer:

SELECT id, ST_AsGeoJSON(the_geom) FROM table WHERE ST_INTERSECTS(ST_MakeEnvelope({0}, {1}, {3}, {4}, 4326), 
ST_Buffer(the_geom::geography, 1000*(seen_count+1))::geometry);
