index

A value of data type BIGINT or VARCHAR that represents the index of an H3 cell. Or, an expression that evaluates to one of these data types.

Return type

POLYGON – represents the polygon with spatial reference system identifier (SRID) of 0.

If index is not valid, then an error is returned.

Examples

The following SQL inputs a VARCHAR that represents the index of an H3 cell, and returns a POLYGON with SRID 0 that represents the boundary of the input H3 cell. The output of H3_Boundary is input to ST_AwEWKT to display in extended well-known text (EWKT) representation.

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(H3_Boundary('8025fffffffffff'));
