GeomFromGML (geography Data Type)

[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance FabricSQLDB]

Constructs a geography instance given a representation in the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] subset of the Geography Markup Language (GML).

For more information on GML, see the following Open Geospatial Consortium Specifications: OGC Specifications, Geography Markup Language

This geography data type method supports FullGlobe instances or spatial instances that are larger than a hemisphere.

Syntax

  
GeomFromGml ( GML_input, SRID )  

Arguments

GML_input
Is an XML input from which the GML will return a value.

SRID
Is an int expression representing the spatial reference ID (SRID) of the geography instance to return.

Return Types

[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] return type: geography

CLR return type: SqlGeography

Remarks

This method throws a FormatException if the input is not well-formatted.

This method will throw ArgumentException if the input contains antipodal edge.

Examples

The following example uses GeomFromGml() to create a geography instance.

DECLARE @g geography;  
DECLARE @x xml;  
SET @x = '<LineString xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/gml"><posList>47.656 -122.36 47.656 -122.343</posList></LineString>';  
SET @g = geography::GeomFromGml(@x, 4326);  
SELECT @g.ToString();  

The following example uses GeomFromGml() to create a FullGlobe``geography instance.

DECLARE @g geography;  
DECLARE @x xml;  
SET @x = '<FullGlobe xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2011/geography" />';  
SET @g = geography::GeomFromGml(@x, 4326);  
SELECT @g.ToString();
