This topic describes the ST_GeomFromEWKB function. This function constructs a geometry object by using an Extended Well-Known Binary (EWKB) string.
Syntax
geometry ST_GeomFromEWKB(bytea eWKB);
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
eWKB | The EWKB string that you want to specify. |
Description
This function supports circular strings, curves, polyhedral surfaces, triangles, triangulated irregular network (TIN) surfaces, and 3D objects.
Examples
Construct a geometry object by using the default parameter settings and specify that
the spatial reference identifier (SRID) must be returned.
