설명

A set-returning function (SRF) that extracts the components of a geometry. It returns a set of geometry_dump rows, each containing a geometry (geom field) and an array of integers (path field).

For an atomic geometry type (POINT,LINESTRING,POLYGON) a single record is returned with an empty path array and the input geometry as geom. For a collection or multi-geometry a record is returned for each of the collection components, and the path denotes the position of the component inside the collection.

ST_Dump is useful for expanding geometries. It is the inverse of a ST_Collect / GROUP BY, in that it creates new rows. For example it can be use to expand MULTIPOLYGONS into POLYGONS.

개선 사항: 2.0.0 버전부터 다면체 표면, 삼각형 및 TIN을 지원하기 시작했습니다.

Availability: PostGIS 1.0.0RC1. Requires PostgreSQL 7.3 or higher.

	1.3.4 미만 버전에서 이 함수에 만곡 도형(curve)을 담고 있는 도형을 입력하면 충돌이 일어났습니다. 1.3.4 버전부터 이 버그가 해결됐습니다.

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves.

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).

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