ST_GeomFromEWKT

Constructs a geometry from Extended Well-Known Text (EWKT).

Usage

geometry ST_GeomFromEWKT(ewkt: string)

Arguments

• ewkt (string)

Description

Parses an EWKT string in the format SRID=<srid>;<wkt> and returns a geometry with the embedded SRID set. EWKT is used by PostGIS and other systems for human-readable output when an item-level SRID required.

Examples

SELECT ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(40.7128 -74.0060)');
