ST_GeomFromText

Applies to ❌ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

This function parses a WKT (Well-known text representation of geometry). For example:

create.select(stGeomFromText("POLYGON ((-1 -1, 1 -1, 1 1, -1 1, -1 -1))")).fetch();

The result being, for example

+-------------------------------------------+
| ST_GeomFromText                           |
+-------------------------------------------+
| POLYGON ((-1 -1, 1 -1, 1 1, -1 1, -1 -1)) |
+-------------------------------------------+

... which is a simple square:
