14.16.7.2 Point Property Functions

A Point consists of X and Y coordinates, which may be obtained using the ST_X() and ST_Y() functions, respectively. These functions also permit an optional second argument that specifies an X or Y coordinate value, in which case the function result is the Point object from the first argument with the appropriate coordinate modified to be equal to the second argument.

For Point objects that have a geographic spatial reference system (SRS), the longitude and latitude may be obtained using the ST_Longitude() and ST_Latitude() functions, respectively. These functions also permit an optional second argument that specifies a longitude or latitude value, in which case the function result is the Point object from the first argument with the longitude or latitude modified to be equal to the second argument.

Unless otherwise specified, functions in this section handle their geometry arguments as follows:

These functions are available for obtaining point properties:
