ST_WKBToSQL constructs a ST_Geometry value given its well-known binary representation. An SRID value of 0 is automatically used.
Syntax
db2gse.ST_WKBToSQL(WKBGeometry Blob(1M))
Return type
db2gse.ST_Geometry
Examples
The following CREATE TABLE statement creates the LOTS table, which has two columns: the LOT_ID column, which uniquely identifies each lot, and the LOT multipolygon column, which contains the geometry of each lot.
CREATE TABLE lots (lot_id integer, lot db2gse.ST_MultiPolygon);
The following C code fragment contains ODBC functions embedded with DB2 Spatial Extender SQL functions that insert data into the LOTS table.
The ST_WKBToSQL function converts WKB representations into DB2 Spatial Extender geometry. The entire INSERT statement is copied into a wkb_sql char string. The INSERT statement contains parameter markers to accept the LOT_ID data and the LOT data, dynamically.
/* Create the SQL insert statement to populate the lot id and the lot multipolygon. The question marks are parameter markers that indicate the lot_id and lot values that will be retrieved at run time. */ strcpy (wkb_sql,"insert into lots (lot_id, lot) values(?, db2gse.ST_WKBToSQL(cast(? as blob(1m))))"); /* 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 integer key value to the first parameter. */ pcbvalue1 = 0; rc = SQLBindParameter (hstmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_SLONG, SQL_INTEGER, 0, 0, &lot_id, 0, &pcbvalue1); /* Bind the shape to the second parameter. */ pcbvalue2 = blob_len; rc = SQLBindParameter (hstmt, 2, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_BINARY, SQL_BLOB, blob_len, 0, shape_blob, blob_len, &pcbvalue2); /* Execute the insert statement. */ rc = SQLExecute (hstmt);
