Name

ST_IsValidReason — Returns text stating if a geometry is valid, or a reason for invalidity.

Synopsis

text ST_IsValidReason(geometry geomA);

text ST_IsValidReason(geometry geomA, integer flags);

Beschreibung

Returns text stating if a geometry is valid, or if invalid a reason why.

Useful in combination with ST_IsValid to generate a detailed report of invalid geometries and reasons.

Allowed flags are documented in ST_IsValidDetail.

Performed by the GEOS module.

Availability: 1.4

Availability: 2.0 version taking flags.
