OPG_APIS.GET_GEOMETRY_FROM_V

Format

OPG_APIS.GET_GEOMETRY_FROM_V_COL(
     v     IN NVARCHAR2,
     srid  IN NUMBER DEFAULT 8307
) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;

Description

Returns an SDO_GEOMETRY object constructed using spatial data and optionally an SRID value.

Parameters

v: A String containing spatial data in serialized form.
srid: SRID (coordinate system identifier) to be used in the resulting SDO_GEOMETRY object. The default value is 8307, the Oracle Spatial SRID for the WGS 84 longitude/latitude coordinate system.

Usage Notes

If there is incorrect syntax or a parsing error, this function returns NULL instead of generating an exception.

Examples

The following examples show point, line, and polygon geometries.
