ST_MakePolygon

Introduction: Function to convert closed linestring to polygon including holes. If holes are provided, they should be fully contained within the shell. Holes outside the shell will produce an invalid polygon (matching PostGIS behavior). Use ST_IsValid to check the result.

ST_MakePolygon

Format: ST_MakePolygon(geom: Geometry, holes: ARRAY[Geometry])

Return type: Geometry

Since: v1.1.0

SQL Example

SELECT ST_MakePolygon(
        ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0)'),
        ARRAY(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(2 2, 4 2, 4 4, 2 4, 2 2)'))
    )

Output:

POLYGON ((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0), (2 2, 4 2, 4 4, 2 4, 2 2))
