geo::area

The geo::area function calculates the area of a geometry.

geo::area(geometry) -> number

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::area({
	type: "Polygon",
	coordinates: [[
		[-0.38314819, 51.37692386], [0.1785278, 51.37692386],
		[0.1785278, 51.61460570], [-0.38314819, 51.61460570],
		[-0.38314819, 51.37692386]
	]]
});

0.13350018278702186

If the argument is not a geometry type, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::area(12345);

null

geo::bearing

The geo::bearing function calculates the bearing between two geolocation points.

geo::bearing(point, point) -> number

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::bearing( (51.509865, -0.118092), (-0.118092, 51.509865) );

-31.913259585079818

If either argument is not a geolocation point, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::bearing(12345, true);

null

geo::centroid

The geo::centroid function calculates the centroid between two geolocation points.

geo::centroid(geometry) -> number

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::centroid({
	type: "Polygon",
	coordinates: [[
		[-0.38314819, 51.37692386], [0.1785278, 51.37692386],
		[0.1785278, 51.61460570], [-0.38314819, 51.61460570],
		[-0.38314819, 51.37692386]
	]]
});

{
	"type": "Point",
	"coordinates": [
		-0.10231019499999999,
		51.49576478
	]
}

If either argument is not a geometry type, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::centroid(12345);

null

geo::distance

The geo::distance function calculates the haversine distance, in metres, between two geolocation points.

geo::distance(point, point) -> number

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::distance( (51.509865, -0.118092), (-0.118092, 51.509865) );

7491494.807105545

If either argument is not a geolocation point, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::distance(12345, true);

null

geo::hash::decode

The geo::hash::decode function converts a geohash into a geolocation point.

geo::hash::decode(point) -> string

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::hash::decode("mpuxk4s24f51");

{
	"type": "Point",
	"coordinates": [
		51.50986494496465,
		-0.11809204705059528
	]
}

If the argument is not a geolocation point, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::hash::decode(12345);

null

geo::hash::encode

The geo::hash::encode function converts a geolocation point into a geohash.

geo::hash::encode(point) -> string

The function accepts a second argument, which determines the accuracy and granularity of the geohash.

geo::hash::encode(point, number) -> string

The following example shows this function, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::hash::encode( (51.509865, -0.118092) );

"mpuxk4s24f51"

The following example shows this function with two arguments, and its output, when used in a select statement:

SELECT * FROM geo::hash::encode( (51.509865, -0.118092), 5 );

"mpuxk"

If the first argument is not a geolocation point, then an EMPTY value will be returned:

SELECT * FROM geo::hash::encode(12345);

null
