[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance]

Returns a geometry instance from an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Well-Known Text (WKT) representation augmented with any Z (elevation) and M (measure) values carried by the instance.

Syntax

  
STMLineFromText ( 'multilinestring_tagged_text' , SRID )  

Arguments

multilinestring_tagged_text
Is the WKT representation of the geometryMultiLineString instance you wish to return. multilinestring_tagged_text is an nvarchar(max) expression.

SRID
Is an int expression representing the spatial reference ID (SRID) of the geometryMultiLineString instance you wish to return.

Return Types

[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] return type: geometry

CLR return type: SqlGeometry

OGC type: MultiLineString

Remarks

This method will throw a FormatException if the input is not well-formatted.

Examples

The following example uses STMLineFromText() to create a geometry instance.

DECLARE @g geometry;  
SET @g = geometry::STMLineFromText('MULTILINESTRING ((100 100, 200 200), (3 4, 7 8, 10 10))', 0);  
  
SELECT @g.ToString();
