Definition
ST_MinX takes a geometry as an input parameter and returns its minimum x-coordinate.
Syntax
Oracle and PostgreSQL
sde.st_minx (geometry1 sde.st_geometry)
SQLite
st_minx (geometry1 geometryblob)
Return type
Oracle and PostgreSQL
Number
SQLite
Double precision
Example
The table, minx_test, is created and two polygons inserted to it. ST_MinX is then run to determine the minimum x-coordinate value in each polygon.
Oracle
CREATE TABLE minx_test (
 id integer,
 geometry sde.st_geometry
);
INSERT INTO MINX_TEST VALUES (
 1901,
 sde.st_polygon ('polygon zm((110 120 20 3, 110 140 22 3, 120 130 26 4, 110 120 20 3))', 4326)
);
INSERT INTO MINX_TEST VALUES (
 1902,
 sde.st_polygon ('polygon zm((0 0 40 7, 0 4 35 9, 5 4 32 12, 5 0 31 5, 0 0 40 7))', 4326)
);
SELECT id, sde.st_minx (geometry) MinX
 FROM MINX_TEST;
