ST_Mem_Size - Returns the amount of space (in bytes) the geometry takes.
ST_NDims - Returns coordinate dimension of the geometry as a small int. Values are: 2,3 or 4.
ST_NPoints - Return the number of points (vertexes) in a geometry.
ST_NRings - If the geometry is a polygon or multi-polygon returns the number of rings.
ST_Perimeter3D - Returns the 3-dimensional perimeter of the geometry, if it is a polygon or multi-polygon.
ST_PointFromWKB - Makes a geometry from WKB with the given SRID
ST_PointN - Return the Nth point in the first linestring or circular linestring in the geometry. Return NULL if there is no
linestring in the geometry.
ST_PointOnSurface - Returns a POINT guaranteed to lie on the surface.
ST_Polygon - Returns a polygon built from the specified linestring and SRID.
ST_RemovePoint - Removes point from a linestring. Offset is 0-based.
ST_Rotate - This is a synonym for ST_RotateZ
ST_RotateX - Rotate a geometry rotRadians about the X axis.
ST_RotateY - Rotate a geometry rotRadians about the Y axis.
ST_RotateZ - Rotate a geometry rotRadians about the Z axis.
ST_Scale - Scales the geometry to a new size by multiplying the ordinates with the parameters. Ie: ST_Scale(geom, Xfactor,
Yfactor, Zfactor).
ST_SetPoint - Replace point N of linestring with given point. Index is 0-based.
ST_Shift_Longitude - Reads every point/vertex in every component of every feature in a geometry, and if the longitude coordinate is <0, adds 360 to it. The result would be a 0-360 version of the data to be plotted in a 180 centric map
ST_SnapToGrid - Snap all points of the input geometry to the grid defined by its origin and cell size. Remove consecutive
points falling on the same cell, eventually returning NULL if output points are not enough to define a geometry of the given
type. Collapsed geometries in a collection are stripped from it. Useful for reducing precision.
ST_StartPoint - Returns the first point of a LINESTRING geometry as a POINT.
ST_Summary - Returns a text summary of the contents of the ST_Geometry.
ST_SymDifference - Returns a geometry that represents the portions of A and B that do not intersect. It is called a symmetric
difference because ST_SymDifference(A,B) = ST_SymDifference(B,A).
ST_TransScale - Translates the geometry using the deltaX and deltaY args, then scales it using the XFactor, YFactor args,
working in 2D only.
ST_Translate - Translates the geometry to a new location using the numeric parameters as offsets. Ie: ST_Translate(geom, X,
Y) or ST_Translate(geom, X, Y,Z).
ST_X - Return the X coordinate of the point, or NULL if not available. Input must be a point.
ST_XMax - Returns X maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_XMin - Returns X minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_Y - Return the Y coordinate of the point, or NULL if not available. Input must be a point.
ST_YMax - Returns Y maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_YMin - Returns Y minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_Z - Return the Z coordinate of the point, or NULL if not available. Input must be a point.

ST_ZMax - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.


ST_ZMin - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_Zmflag - Returns ZM (dimension semantic) flag of the geometries as a small int. Values are: 0=2d, 1=3dm, 2=3dz, 3=4d.
UpdateGeometrySRID - Updates the SRID of all features in a geometry column, geometry_columns metadata and srid table
constraint

8.7 PostGIS Curved Geometry Support Functions


The functions given below are PostGIS functions that can use CIRCULARSTRING, CURVEDPOLYGON, and other curved
geometry types
AddGeometryColumn - Adds a geometry column to an existing table of attributes.
Box2D - Returns a BOX2D representing the maximum extents of the geometry.
Box3D - Returns a BOX3D representing the maximum extents of the geometry.
DropGeometryColumn - Removes a geometry column from a spatial table.
GeometryType - Returns the type of the geometry as a string. Eg: LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, etc.
PostGIS_AddBBox - Add bounding box to the geometry.
PostGIS_DropBBox - Drop the bounding box cache from the geometry.
PostGIS_HasBBox - Returns TRUE if the bbox of this geometry is cached, FALSE otherwise.
ST_Accum - Aggregate. Constructs an array of geometries.
ST_Affine - Applies a 3d affine transformation to the geometry to do things like translate, rotate, scale in one step.
ST_AsBinary - Return the Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation of the geometry/geography without SRID meta data.
ST_AsEWKB - Return the Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation of the geometry with SRID meta data.
ST_AsEWKT - Return the Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the geometry with SRID meta data.
ST_AsHEXEWKB - Returns a Geometry in HEXEWKB format (as text) using either little-endian (NDR) or big-endian (XDR)
encoding.
ST_AsText - Return the Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the geometry/geography without SRID metadata.
ST_Collect - Return a specified ST_Geometry value from a collection of other geometries.
ST_CoordDim - Return the coordinate dimension of the ST_Geometry value.
ST_CurveToLine - Converts a CIRCULARSTRING/CURVEDPOLYGON to a LINESTRING/POLYGON
ST_Dump - Returns a set of geometry_dump (geom,path) rows, that make up a geometry g1.
ST_DumpPoints - Returns a set of geometry_dump (geom,path) rows of all points that make up a geometry.
ST_Estimated_Extent - Return the estimated extent of the given spatial table. The estimated is taken from the geometry
columns statistics. The current schema will be used if not specified.
ST_Extent3D - an aggregate function that returns the box3D bounding box that bounds rows of geometries.
ST_Force_2D - Forces the geometries into a "2-dimensional mode" so that all output representations will only have the X and
Y coordinates.
ST_Force_3D - Forces the geometries into XYZ mode. This is an alias for ST_Force_3DZ.
