ST_NumPoints — Returns the number of points in a LineString or CircularString.
integer ST_NumPoints(geometry  g1);
Return the number of points in an ST_LineString or ST_CircularString value. Prior to 1.4 only works with linestrings as the specs state. From 1.4 forward this is an alias for ST_NPoints which returns number of vertices for not just linestrings. Consider using ST_NPoints instead which is multi-purpose and works with many geometry types.
