Description

Return the Y coordinate of the point, or NULL if not available. Input must be a point.

	To get the minimum and maximum Y value of geometry coordinates use the functions ST_YMin and ST_YMax .

This method implements the OGC Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM 3: 6.1.4

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

Examples

SELECT ST_Y(ST_GeomFromEWKT('POINT(1 2 3 4)'));
 st_y
------
