ST_ZMin

ST_ZMin returns the minimum z coordinate of an input geometry.

Syntax

ST_ZMin(geom)

Arguments

geom

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

Return type

DOUBLE PRECISION value of the minimum 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 smallest z coordinate of a linestring in a 3DZ geometry.
