ST_MakeValid
Name
ST_MakeValid — Attempts to make an invalid geometry valid without losing vertices.

Description
The function attempts to create a valid representation of a given invalid geometry without losing any of the input vertices. Already-valid geometries are returned without further intervention.
Supported inputs are: POINTS, MULTIPOINTS, LINESTRINGS, MULTILINESTRINGS, POLYGONS, MULTIPOLYGONS and GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONS containing any mix of them.
In case of full or partial dimensional collapses, the output geometry may be a collection of lower-to-equal dimension geometries or a geometry of lower dimension.
Single polygons may become multi-geometries in case of self-intersections.
Performed by the GEOS module.
Availability: 2.0.0
Enhanced: 2.0.1, speed improvements
Enhanced: 2.1.0, added support for GEOMETRYCOLLECTION and MULTIPOINT.
Enhanced: 3.1.0, added removal of Coordinates with NaN values.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
