dbf.to_geography(col=<col>)
Parameters

|---|---|---|
|
| A string value in WKT or GeoJSON format, or a BINARY value in WKB format representing a Geography value. |
Examples
Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
df = spark.createDataFrame([('POINT Z (3 4 5)',)], ['wkt'])
df.select(dbf.st_asewkt(dbf.to_geography('wkt')).alias('result')).collect()
Output
[Row(result='SRID=4326;POINT Z (3 4 5)')]
Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
df = spark.createDataFrame([('{"type":"MultiPoint","coordinates":[[3,4,5]]}',)], ['geojson'])
df.select(dbf.st_asewkt(dbf.to_geography('geojson')).alias('result')).collect()
Output
[Row(result='SRID=4326;MULTIPOINT Z ((3 4 5))')]
Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf

df.select(dbf.st_asewkt(dbf.to_geography('wkb')).alias('result')).collect()
Output
