ST_MLineFromText

Name

ST_MLineFromText — Return a specified ST_MultiLineString value from WKT representation.

Synopsis

geometry ST_MLineFromText ( text WKT , integer srid ) ;

geometry ST_MLineFromText ( text WKT ) ;

Description

Makes a Geometry from Well-Known-Text (WKT) with the given SRID. If SRID is not given, it defaults to 0.

OGC SPEC 3.2.6.2 - option SRID is from the conformance suite

Returns null if the WKT is not a MULTILINESTRING

[Note]

If you are absolutely sure all your WKT geometries are points, don't use this function. It is slower than ST_GeomFromText since it adds an additional validation step.
