Arguments

geom

A value of data type GEOMETRY or an expression that evaluates to a GEOMETRY type.

Return type

DOUBLE PRECISION value of the maximum z coordinate.

If geom is empty, then null is returned.

If geom is null, then null is returned.

If geom is a 2D or 3DM geometry, then null is returned.

Examples

The following SQL returns the largest z coordinate of a linestring in a 3DZ geometry.

The following SQL returns the largest z coordinate of a linestring in a 4D geometry. 

SELECT ST_ZMax(ST_GeomFromEWKT('LINESTRING ZM (0 1 2 3, 4 5 6 7, 8 9 10 11)'));
