ST_GeomFromBinary method for type ST

ST_Geometry::ST_GeomFromBinary(binary-string[, srid])

Name	Type	Description
binary-string	LONG BINARY	A string containing the binary representation of a geometry. The input can be in any supported binary format, including WKB or EWKB.
srid	INT	The SRID of the result. If not specified and the input string does not provide a SRID, the default is 0.

ST_Geometry Returns a geometry value of the appropriate type based on the source string.
The spatial reference system identifier of the result is the given by parameter srid.

Parses a string containing one of the supported formats and creates a geometry value of the appropriate type. This method is used by the server when evaluating a cast from a binary string to a geometry type.

Some input formats contain an SRID definition. If provided, the srid parameter must match any value taken from the input string.
