Name

ST_Reverse — Return the geometry with vertex order reversed.

Synopsis

geometry ST_Reverse(geometry g1);

Description

Can be used on any geometry and reverses the order of the vertices.

Enhanced: 2.4.0 support for curves was introduced.

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

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

Examples

Code
WITH data(geom) AS (VALUES (
  ST_MakeLine(ST_Point(1, 2), ST_Point(1, 10))
))
SELECT geom AS input_line,
       ST_Reverse(geom) AS reversed_line
FROM data;
Output
      input_line      |    reversed_line
