Description
Returns the 3-dimensional perimeter of the geometry, if it is a polygon or multi-polygon. If the geometry is 2-dimensional, then the 2-dimensional perimeter is returned.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
Changed: 2.0.0 In prior versions this used to be called ST_Perimeter3D
Examples
