Extending HCL OneDB™Beyond standard relational database objects, HCL OneDB™ can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects. HCL OneDB™ includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server. HCL OneDB™ also provides DataBlade® modules, which are packages of extended database objects for a particular purpose and that are installed separately from the database server. Alternatively, you can create your own user-defined objects for HCL OneDB™.
HCL OneDB™ extensions and DataBlade® modulesThese topics describe how to use built-in database extensions and separately installed DataBlade® modules.
Spatial Data User's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Spatial Data User's Guide contains information to assist you in using the HCL® OneDB® spatial extension. The HCL® OneDB® spatial extension adds custom data types and supporting routines to the server.
Spatial functionsUse specific spatial data type functions to perform operations on spatial data.
The ST_MPointFromKML() function

The ST_MPointFromKML() function

The ST_MPointFromKML() function takes a KML MultiGeometry and Point combination and an optional spatial reference ID and returns a multipoint object. A Point string can contain the elements of <coordinates>, <extrude>, <tessellate>, and <altitudeMode>, but they are ignored.

Syntax

ST_MPointFromKML(kmlstring lvarchar)
ST_MPointFromKML(kmlstring lvarchar, SRID integer)

Return type

ST_MultiPoint

Example

EXECUTE FUNCTION ST_MPointFromKML('<MultiGeometry><Point><coordinates>
             -122.365662,37.826988, 0</coordinates></Point><Point>
             <coordinates>-122.365038,37.82655,0</coordinates>
             </Point></MultiGeometry>',4);

Output:

4 MULTIPOINT Z (-122.365662056 37.8269879529 0, -122.36503794 
                37.8265500822 0)
