FNC_GeomGetWKTSize Function | C Library Functions | Teradata Vantage - FNC_GeomGetWKTSize - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

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.
