geometry_dump
Name
geometry_dump — A composite type used to describe the parts of complex geometry.
Description
geometry_dump
is a
composite data type
containing the fields:
-
geom- a references to a component geometry -
path[]- a 1-dimensional integer array that defines the navigation path within the dumped geometry to thegeomcomponent. The path array starts at 1 (e.g.path[1]is the first element.)
It is used by the
ST_Dump*
family of functions as an output type to explode a complex geometry into its
constituent parts.
