ST_YMin method for type ST

geometry-expression.ST_YMin()

DOUBLE Returns the minimum Y coordinate value of the geometry-expression.

Returns the minimum Y coordinate value of the geometry-expression. This is computed by comparing the Y attribute of all points in the geometry.

Note that in round-Earth model, minimum corresponds to southernmost point of the geometry-expression (which may not be one of the points defining the geometry) and maximum corresponds to the northernmost point of the geometry-expression.

Note

If the geometry-expression is an empty geometry (ST_IsEmpty()=1), then this method returns NULL.

Note

By default, ST_YMin uses the original format for a geometry, if it is available. Otherwise, the internal format is used. For more information about internal and original formats, see STORAGE FORMAT clause, CREATE SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM statement.
