ST_Area

ST_Area_Square_Meters,ST_Area_Square_Km​

Syntax​

DOUBLE ST_Area_Square_Meters(GEOMETRY geo)
DOUBLE ST_Area_Square_Km(GEOMETRY geo)

description​

Calculate the area of the area on the earth's sphere. Currently, the parameter geo supports St_Point, St_LineString, St_Circle and St_Polygon.

Returns zero if the input is St_Point, St_LineString.

Among them, the unit returned by ST_Area_Square_Meters (GEOMETRY geo) is square meters, and the unit returned by ST_Area_Square_Km (GEOMETRY geo) is square kilometers.
