15.10 - ST_Transform - Teradata Database

Returns an ST_Geometry value transformed to the specified spatial reference system.

Argument …	Specifies …
toSRSid	an INTEGER that is the identifier of the spatial reference system returned by the method.
toWktSRS	a VARCHAR(2048) for the WKT representation of the spatial reference system to transform to.
fromWktSRS	a VARCHAR(2048) for the WKT representation of the spatial reference system to assign to the geometry value (without any transformation) before transforming it to the spatial reference system specified by toWktSRS.

Returns an ST_Geometry value.

All ST_Geometry types.

Note: This method can be called on 3D geometries (those that include z coordinates). However, the z coordinate is ignored in method calculations. Consequently, any z coordinates returned by this method should be ignored. Teradata recommends using the Make_2D method to strip out the z coordinates of the return value.

The SRTEXT column of the SYSSPATIAL.SPATIAL_REF_SYS metadata table contains WKT representations of spatial reference systems.

   SELECT R.skey, R.shape.ST_Transform(X.srtext, Y.srtext)

   FROM sample_shapes R ,

        SYSSPATIAL.SPATIAL_REF_SYS X ,

        SYSSPATIAL.SPATIAL_REF_SYS Y

   WHERE  X.AUTH_SRID = 4326 and Y.AUTH_SRID = 3149;

The following example demonstrates the use of the toSRSid argument.

CREATE TABLE customers(pkey INTEGER, point ST_Geometry);

INSERT INTO customers VALUES(0, new ST_Geometry('POINT(-89.39 43.09)', 1619));

INSERT INTO customers VALUES(1, new ST_Geometry('POINT(-87.65 41.90)', 1619));

CREATE TABLE transformed_customers2(pkey INTEGER, point ST_Geometry);

INSERT INTO transformed_customers2

SELECT pkey,

       point.ST_Transform(3054, X.srtext, Y.srtext)

FROM customers,

     SYSSPATIAL.SPATIAL_REF_SYS X,

     SYSSPATIAL.SPATIAL_REF_SYS Y

WHERE X.AUTH_SRID = 32616 AND    -- UTM 16 / WGS84

      Y.AUTH_SRID = 4326         -- WGS84

;

;SELECT pkey,

       point.ST_SRID(),

       point

FROM transformed_customers2

ORDER BY pkey;
