Name
ST_Zmflag — Returns a code indicating the ZM coordinate dimension of a geometry.
Synopsis
smallint ST_Zmflag(geometry geomA);
Description
Returns a code indicating the ZM coordinate dimension of a geometry.
Values are: 0 = 2D, 1 = 3D-M, 2 = 3D-Z, 3 = 4D.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves.
