ST_GeomFromText

Definition

ST_GeomFromText takes a well-known text representation and a spatial reference ID and returns a geometry object.

Syntax

Oracle

sde.st_geomfromtext (wkt clob, srid integer)

sde.st_geomfromtext (wkt clob)

If you do not specify an SRID, the spatial reference defaults to 4326.

SQLite

st_geomfromtext (wkt text, srid int32)

st_geomfromtext (wkt text)

If you do not specify an SRID, the spatial reference defaults to 4326.

Return type

Oracle

ST_Geometry

SQLite

Geometryblob

Example

The geometry_test table contains the integer gid column, which uniquely identifies each row, and the g1 column, which stores the geometry.

The INSERT statements insert the data into the gid and g1 columns of the geometry_test table. The ST_GeomFromText function converts the text representation of each geometry into its corresponding instantiable subclass. The SELECT statement at the end is done to ensure data was inserted into the g1 column.
