Definition
ST_Aggr_ConvexHull creates a single geometry that is a convex hull of a geometry that resulted from a union of all input geometries. In effect, ST_Aggr_ConvexHull is equivalent to ST_ConvexHull(ST_Aggr_Union(geometries)).
Syntax
Oracle
sde.st_aggr_convexhull (geometry sde.st_geometry)
SQLite
st_aggr_convexhull (geometry st_geometry)
Return type
Oracle
ST_Geometry
SQLite
Geometryblob
Example
The example creates a service_territories table and executes a SELECT statement that aggregates all the geometries, thereby generating a single geometry representing the convex hull of the union of all the shapes.
