Definition
ST_MinM takes a geometry as an input parameter and returns its minimum m-coordinate.
Syntax
Oracle and PostgreSQL
sde.st_minm (geometry1 sde.st_geometry)
SQLite
st_minm (geometry1 geometryblob)
Return type
Oracle and PostgreSQL
Number
If no m values are present, NULL is returned.
SQLite
Double precision
If no m values are present, NULL is returned.
Example
The table, minm_test, is created and two polygons inserted to it. ST_MinM is then run to determine the minimum measure value in each polygon.
PostgreSQL
Oracle
CREATE TABLE minm_test (
id integer,
geometry sde.st_geometry

INSERT INTO MINM_TEST VALUES (
