## Name

ST_SetSRID — Set the SRID on a geometry.

## Synopsis

`geometry ST_SetSRID(`geometry geom, integer srid`)`;

## Description

Sets the SRID on a geometry to a particular integer value. Useful in constructing bounding boxes for queries.

This function does not transform the geometry coordinates in any way - it simply sets the meta data defining the spatial reference system the geometry is assumed to be in. Use ST_Transform if you want to transform the geometry into a new projection.

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

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves

## Examples

-- Mark a point as WGS 84 long lat --

    SELECT ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(-123.365556, 48.428611),4326) As wgs84long_lat;
    -- the ewkt representation (wrap with ST_AsEWKT) -
    SRID=4326;POINT(-123.365556 48.428611)

-- Mark a point as WGS 84 long lat and then transform to web mercator (Spherical Mercator) --

    SELECT ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(-123.365556, 48.428611),4326),3785) As spere_merc;
    -- the ewkt representation (wrap with ST_AsEWKT) -
    SRID=3785;POINT(-13732990.8753491 6178458.96425423)
