ST_MemSize — Restituisce il tipo di geometria per il valore ST_Geometry.
integer ST_MemSize(geometry  geomA);
Restituisce il tipo di geometria per il valore ST_Geometry.
This complements the PostgreSQL built-in database object functions pg_column_size, pg_size_pretty, pg_relation_size, pg_total_relation_size.

                 pg_relation_size which gives the byte size of a table may return byte size lower than ST_MemSize. This is because pg_relation_size does not add toasted table contribution and large geometries are stored in TOAST tables. pg_total_relation_size - includes, the table, the toasted tables, and the indexes. pg_column_size returns how much space a geometry would take in a column considering compression, so may be lower than ST_MemSize  | 
            
            
 Questa funzione supporta il 3d e non distrugge gli z-index. 
            
 Questo metodo supporta le Curve e le Circular String. 
            
 Questa funzione supporta le Polyhedral Surface. 
            
 Questa funzione supporta i Triangoli e le Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN). 
Changed: 2.2.0 name changed to ST_MemSize to follow naming convention.
