STMPointFromText ( 'multipoint_tagged_text', SRID )

Arguments

  • multipoint_tagged_text
    Is the WKT representation of the geometry MultiPoint instance you wish to return. multipoint_tagged_text is an nvarchar(max) expression.

  • SRID
    Is an int expression representing the spatial reference ID (SRID) of the geometry MultiPoint instance you wish to return.

Return Types

SQL Server return type: geometry

CLR return type: SqlGeometry

OGC type: MultiPoint

This method will throw a FormatException if the input is not well-formatted.

Examples

The following example uses STMPointFromText() to create a geometry instance.

DECLARE @g geometry; 
SET @g = geometry::STMPointFromText('MULTIPOINT ((100 100), (200 200))', 0);
SELECT @g.ToString();
