ST_MPolyFromWKB

Definition

ST_MPointFromWKB takes a well-known binary (WKB) representation of type ST_MultiPolygon and a spatial reference ID to return an ST_MultiPolygon.

Syntax

Oracle

sde.st_mpolyfromwkb (wkb blob, srid integer)

PostgreSQL

sde.st_mpolyfromwkb (wkb bytea, srid integer)

SQLite

st_mpolyfromwkb (wkb blob, srid int32)

Return type

ST_MultiPolygon

Example

This example illustrates how ST_MPolyFromWKB can be used to create a multipolygon from its well-known binary representation. The geometry is a multipolygon in spatial reference system 4326. In this example, the multipolygon is stored with ID = 10 in the geometry column of the sample_mpolys table, then the wkb column is updated with its well-known binary representation (using the ST_AsBinary function). Finally, the ST_MPolyFromWKB function is used to return the multipolygon from the wkb column. The sample_mpolys table has a geometry column, where the multipolygon is stored, and a wkb column, where the multipolygon's WKB representation is stored.

The SELECT statement includes the ST_MPolyFromWKB function, which is used to retrieve the multipolygon from the WKB column.
