Spatial Data Types

Spatial data types are used to store values that contain spatial data, such as points, lines, or polygons.

The following column types are supported in column tables only: ST_Point, ST_Geometry.

The column type ST_Point supports only the two-dimensional spatial data type ST_Point.

The column type ST_Geometry supports the following spatial data types:

• ST_CircularString

• ST_GeometryCollection

• ST_LineString

• ST_MultiLineString

• ST_MultiPoint

• ST_MultiPolygon

• ST_Point

• ST_Polygon

The following diagram illustrate the Spatial type hierarchy.
