Syntax


          

STGeomCollFromText ( 'geometrycollection_tagged_text' , SRID )

Arguments

geometrycollection_tagged_text: Is the WKT representation of the geometry instance you wish to return. geometry_tagged_text is an nvarchar(max) expression.
SRID: Is an int expression representing the spatial reference ID (SRID) of the geometry instance you wish to return.

Remarks

The OGC type of the geometry instance returned by STGeomCollFromText() is set to the corresponding WKT input.

This method will throw an exception if the input is not valid.

Examples

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

DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomCollFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION ( POLYGON((5 5, 10 5, 10 10, 5 5)), POINT(10 10) )', 0);
SELECT @g.ToString();
