Set the value of a Geometry type using a Well-Known Text (WKT) string representation of the Geometry in the Latin character set.

Syntax

void
FNC_GeomGetWKT(GEO_HANDLE      geoHandle,
               unsigned char*  wkt,
               FNC_GeomSize_t  wktSize,
               int             srid)

Syntax Elements

geoHandle
A handle to a Geometry type that is defined to be a return value for a UDF/UDM or an INOUT/OUT parameter to an external stored procedure.
wkt
A pointer to the WKT string in the Latin character set.
wktSize
Size in bytes of the WKT string.
srid
Spatial Reference System Identifier of the Geometry to be set.

Usage Notes

The FNC_GeomSetWKT function sets the value of a Geometry using a WKT string representation. The wkt parameter containing the WKT string, the wktSize, and the SRID to be set for the Geometry are passed as input.

The FNC_GeomSetWKT function should be called only for inline ST_Geometry values. If used with a LOB-based ST_Geometry value, a 7579 error is generated: FNC_GeomSetWKT is only valid for inline ST_Geometry values.

Example: Using FNC_GeomGetWKT to retrieve a ST_Geometry WKT

The following example function takes a ST_Geometry parameter and retrieves the Well Known Text format for the geometry. It returns the string back in the ST_Geometry return parameter.
