Specifies … |
|
awkt |
a geometry value specified in the well-known text (WKT) format. The data type of awkt is CLOB. The maximum size of awkt is approximately 16 MB (the exact maximum is 16 MB ‑ 1 KB), allowing for a representation of approximately one million points. For details on WKT formats, see “Well-Known Text Representation” on page 194. |
Returns an ST_Geometry value.
All ST_Geometry types.
Teradata Database provides this method because it is in the SQL/MM Spatial standard, where it is defined to implement transform functionality that allows importing the ST_Geometry type to the server.
For best performance, use a constructor method instead of ST_WKTToSQL to construct an instance of ST_Geometry.
USING (a INTEGER,
b CLOB(60000))
INSERT INTO sample_shapes VALUES (:a,
new ST_Geometry('POINT(1 2)').ST_WKTToSQL(:b));
