説明

Return the Nth point in a single linestring or circular linestring in the geometry. Negative values are counted backwards from the end of the LineString, so that -1 is the last point. Returns NULL if there is no linestring in the geometry.

	Index is 1-based as for OGC specs since version 0.8.0. Backward indexing (negative index) is not in OGC Previous versions implemented this as 0-based instead.

	マルチラインストリングからN番目のポイントを得たい場合には、ST_Dumpを併用して下さい。

This method implements the OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM 3: 7.2.5, 7.3.5

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

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves

	Changed: 2.0.0 単一ジオメトリのMULTILINESTRINGで動作しなくなりました。単一のラインストリングからなるMULTILINESTRINGについては幸運にも動いていて、最初のポイントを返していました。2.0.0では他のMULTILINESTRINGと同様にNULLを返すようになりました。 Changed: 2.3.0 : negative indexing available (-1 is last point)

例

-- Extract all POINTs from a LINESTRING
SELECT ST_AsText(
   ST_PointN(
          column1,
          generate_series(1, ST_NPoints(column1))
   ))
FROM ( VALUES ('LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1, 2 2)'::geometry) ) AS foo;

 st_astext
------------
 POINT(0 0)
 POINT(1 1)
 POINT(2 2)
(3 rows)

--Example circular string
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_PointN(ST_GeomFromText('CIRCULARSTRING(1 2, 3 2, 1 2)'),2));

st_astext
----------
POINT(3 2)

SELECT st_astext(f)
FROM ST_GeometryFromtext('LINESTRING(0 0 0, 1 1 1, 2 2 2)') as g
        ,ST_PointN(g, -2) AS f -- 1 based index

st_astext
----------
"POINT Z (1 1 1)"
