Description

STStartPoint

Returns the start point of a geometry instance (for LineString types).

STEndpoint

Returns the end point of a geometry instance (for LineString types).

STPointN

Returns a specified point from a geometry instance.

STPointOnSurface

Returns an arbitrary point guaranteed to be within a geometry instance.

STCurveN (geometry Data

Type)

Returns the specified curve from a geometry instance that’s a LineString,

CircularString, or CompoundCurve.

STCurveToLine (geometry

Data Type)

Returns a polygonal approximation of a geometry instance containing

circular arc segments.
