Returns the boundary of the input GEOMETRY value as GEOMETRY value.

Syntax​

st_boundary ( geoExpr )

Arguments​

  • geoExpr: A GEOMETRY value.

Returns​

Returns a GEOMETRY value representing the boundary of the input GEOMETRY value. More precisely:

  • If the input is a point, its boundary is the corresponding empty point.
  • If the input is a multipoint, its boundary is the corresponding empty multipoint.
  • If the input is a linestring, its boundary is the empty multipoint if it is closed, or the non-empty multipoint consisting of its two endpoints if it is not closed.
  • If the input is a multilinestring, its boundary is the possibly empty multipoint that consists of all the boundary points of all its non-closed linestrings with odd parity (mod-2 rule).
  • If the input is an empty polygon, its boundary is the corresponding empty multilinestring.
  • If the input is a non-empty polygon with a single outer ring, its boundary is the linestring representing the outer ring.
  • If the input is a non-empty polygon with both an outer and at least one inner ring, its boundary is a multilinestring containing the rings represented as linestrings.
  • If the input is an empty multipolygon, its boundary is the corresponding empty multilinestring.
  • If the input is a non-empty multipolygon with a single outer boundary, its boundary is the linestring representing this single outer boundary.
  • If the input is a non-empty multipolygon with at least two polygon rings, its boundary is the multilinestring containing the linestrings representing the rings of the polygons.
  • For collections, the boundary can be a multipoint, linestring, multilinestring, or a collection containing a multipoint and linestring/multilinestring.

The SRID value of the returned GEOMETRY value is equal to that of the input value.

Examples​

SQL
> SELECT st_boundary(st_geomfromewkt('SRID=3857;POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0),(2 2,8 2,8 8,2 8,2 2))'));
  SRID=3857;MULTILINESTRING((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0),(2 2,8 2,8 8,2 8,2 2))
