Definition
ST_PointFromWKB takes a well-known binary (WKB) representation and a spatial reference ID to return an ST_Point.
Syntax

PostgreSQL
Oracle
sde.st_pointfromwkb (wkb blob, srid integer)
PostgreSQL

st_pointfromwkb (wkb blob, srid int32)
Return type
ST_Point
Example
This example illustrates how ST_PointFromWKB can be used to create a point from its well-known binary representation. The geometries are points in spatial reference system 4326. In this example, the points are stored in the geometry column of the sample_points table, then the wkb column is updated with their well-known binary representations (using the ST_AsBinary function). Finally, the ST_PointFromWKB function is used to return the points from the WKB column. The sample-points table has a geometry column, where the points are stored, and a wkb column, where the points' well-known binary representations are stored.
In the SELECT statement, the ST_PointFromWKB function is used to retrieve the points from the WKB column.
