ST_IsCollection — Tests if a geometry is a geometry collection type.
boolean ST_IsCollection(geometry g);
Returns TRUE if the geometry type of
the argument a geometry collection type. Collection types are the following:
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
MULTI{POINT,POLYGON,LINESTRING,CURVE,SURFACE}
COMPOUNDCURVE
![]() | |
This function analyzes the type of the geometry. This means
that it will return |
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves.
