ST_NumInteriorRings — Returns the number of interior rings (holes) of a Polygon.
integer ST_NumInteriorRings(
geometry a_polygon)
;
Return the number of interior rings of a polygon geometry. Return NULL if the geometry is not a polygon.
Questo metodo implementa la specifica SQL/MM. SQL-MM 3: 8.2.5
Changed: 2.0.0 - in prior versions it would allow passing a MULTIPOLYGON, returning the number of interior rings of first POLYGON.
--If you have a regular polygon SELECT gid, field1, field2, ST_NumInteriorRings(geom) AS numholes FROM sometable; --If you have multipolygons --And you want to know the total number of interior rings in the MULTIPOLYGON SELECT gid, field1, field2, SUM(ST_NumInteriorRings(geom)) AS numholes FROM (SELECT gid, field1, field2, (ST_Dump(geom)).geom As geom FROM sometable) As foo GROUP BY gid, field1,field2;
