Descrição

Para tipo geometria, retorna a menor distância cartesiana 3-dimensional entre duas geometrias em unidades projetadas (spatial ref units).

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM ISO/IEC 13249-3

Disponibilidade: 2.0.0

Alterações: 2.2.0 - Em caso de 2D e 3D, o Z não é mais 0 para Z perdido.

Changed: 3.0.0 - SFCGAL version removed

Exemplos

-- Geometry example - units in meters (SRID: 2163 US National Atlas Equal area) (3D point and line compared 2D point and line)
-- Note: currently no vertical datum support so Z is not transformed and assumed to be same units as final.
