ST_MPointFromWKB

ST_MPointFromWKB takes a well-known binary representation of type multipoint and a spatial reference system identity to return a multipoint.

Syntax

db2gse.ST_MPointFromWKB(WKBMultiPoint Blob(1M), cr db2gse.coordref)

Return type

db2gse.ST_MultiPoint

Examples

The following code fragment populates the SPECIES_SITINGS table.

The SPECIES_SITINGS table is created with three columns. The SPECIES and GENUS columns uniquely identify each row, while the SITINGS multipoint column stores the locations of the species sitings.

CREATE TABLE SPECIES_SITINGS (species  varchar(32),
                              genus varchar(32),
                              sitings  db2gse.ST_MultiPoint);
 
/* Create the SQL insert statement to populate the species, genus and
   sitings. The question marks are parameter markers that
   indicate the species, genus and sitings values that will be retrieved at
   runtime. */
strcpy (wkb_sql,"insert into SPECIES_SITINGS (species,genus,sitings)
values (?,?, db2gse.ST_MPointFromWKB (cast(? as blob(1m)),
db2gse.coordref()..srid(0)))");
 
/* Allocate memory for the SQL statement handle and associate the
   statement handle with the connection handle. */
rc = SQLAllocStmt (handle, &hstmt);
 
/* Prepare the SQL statement for execution. */
rc = SQLPrepare (hstmt, (unsigned char *)wkb_sql, SQL_NTS);
 
/* Bind the varchar species value to the first parameter. */
pcbvalue1 = species_len;
rc = SQLBindParameter (hstmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
   SQL_CHAR, species_len, 0, &species, species_len, &pcbvalue1);
/* Bind the varchar genus value to the second parameter. */
pcbvalue2 = genus_len;
rc = SQLBindParameter (hstmt, 2, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
   SQL_CHAR, genus_len, 0, &name, genus_len, &pcbvalue2);
 
/* Bind the shape to the third parameter. */
pcbvalue3 = sitings_len;
rc = SQLBindParameter (hstmt, 3, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_BINARY,
     SQL_BLOB, sitings_len, 0, sitings_wkb, sitings_len, &pcbvalue3);
 
/* Execute the insert statement. */
rc = SQLExecute (hstmt);
