ST_GeometryN
Applies to ❌ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
This function returns the N-th geometry (1-based) from a geometry that contains multiple nested geometries.
create.select(stGeometryN(stGeomFromText("MULTIPOINT ((-1 -1), (1 -1), (1 1), (-1 1))"), 2)).fetch();
The result being, for example
+--------------+ | ST_GeometryN | +--------------+ | POINT (1 -1) | +--------------+
Or, visually:
To get the total number of geometries, use ST_NumGeometries.
