説明

Calculates the length/perimeter of a geometry on an ellipsoid. This is useful if the coordinates of the geometry are in longitude/latitude and a length is desired without reprojection. The ellipsoid is a separate database type and can be constructed as follows:

Availability: 1.2.2

Changed: 2.2.0 前の版ではST_Length_Spheroidと呼ばれていました。また、ST_3DLength_Spheroidの別名でした。

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
