Examples

The following CREATE TABLE statement creates the X_TEST table, which has two columns: the GID column, which uniquely identifies the row, and the PT1 point column.

CREATE TABLE X_TEST (gid integer, pt1 db2gse.ST_Point) 

The following INSERT statements insert two rows. One is a point without a Z coordinate or a measure. The other column has both a Z coordinate and a measure.

INSERT INTO X_TEST VALUES(1,
db2gse.ST_PointFromText('point (10.02 20.01)', db2gse.coordref()..srid(0)))
 
INSERT INTO X_TEST VALUES(2,
db2gse.ST_PointFromText('point  zm (10.02 20.01 5.0 7.0)', db2gse.coordref()..srid(0))) 

The following SELECT statement and the corresponding result set lists the GID column and the Double X coordinate of the points.

SELECT gid, db2gse.ST_X(pt1) "The X coordinate" FROM X_TEST
 
GID         The X coordinate
