Definition

ST_MaxZ takes a geometry as an input parameter and returns its maximum z-coordinate.

Syntax

sde.st_maxz (g1 sde.st_geometry)

Return type

Number

If no z values are present, NULL is returned.

Example

Oracle

CREATE TABLE maxz_test (id integer, geometry sde.st_geometry);

INSERT INTO MAXZ_TEST VALUES (
1901,
sde.st_polygon ('polygon zm((110 120 20 3, 110 140 22 3, 120 130 26 4, 110 120 20 3))', 0)
);

INSERT INTO MAXZ_TEST VALUES (
1902,
sde.st_polygon ('polygon zm((0 0 40 7, 0 4 35 9, 5 4 32 12, 5 0 31 5, 0 0 40 7))', 0)
);

SELECT id, sde.st_maxz (geometry) Max_Z
FROM MAXZ_TEST;

        ID      MAX_Z

      1901         26
      1902         40
