Description
Creates a 2D, 3DZ or 4D point geometry (geometry with measure).
ST_MakePoint
while not being OGC compliant is
generally faster and more precise than
ST_GeomFromText
and
ST_PointFromText
. It is also easier to use if
you have raw coordinates rather than WKT.

Note x is longitude and y is latitude |

|
Use ST_MakePointM if you need to make a point with x, y and m. |
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
Examples
--Return point with unknown SRID SELECT ST_MakePoint(-71.1043443253471, 42.3150676015829); --Return point marked as WGS 84 long lat SELECT ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-71.1043443253471, 42.3150676015829),4326); --Return a 3D point (e.g. has altitude) SELECT ST_MakePoint(1, 2,1.5); --Get z of point SELECT ST_Z(ST_MakePoint(1, 2,1.5)); result ------- 1.5
