Syntax

MultiLineString(ls1,ls2,...)

Description

Constructs a WKB MultiLineString value using WKB LineString arguments. If any argument is not a WKB LineString, the return value isNULL.

Example

CREATE TABLE gis_multi_line (g MULTILINESTRING);
INSERT INTO gis_multi_line VALUES
 (MultiLineStringFromText('MULTILINESTRING((10 48,10 21,10 0),(16 0,16 23,16 48))')),
 (MLineFromText('MULTILINESTRING((10 48,10 21,10 0))')),
 (MLineFromWKB(AsWKB(MultiLineString(LineString(Point(1, 2), 
    Point(3, 5)), LineString(Point(2, 5),Point(5, 8),Point(21, 7))))));

MultiLineString_Example:

CREATE TABLE mlstr_example (
  m MULTILINESTRING
);

INSERT INTO mlstr_example VALUES
  (ST_MultiLineStringFromText(
    'MULTILINESTRING((0 40, 0 20, 6 30, 12 20, 12 40),
    (15 40, 15 20, 25 20, 30 25, 30 35, 25 40, 15 40))')),
  (ST_MLineFromText('MULTILINESTRING((0 0, 1 1, 2 2))')),
  (MultiLineString(
    LineString(Point(0, 40), Point(0, 20)),
    LineString(Point(6, 30), Point(12, 20), Point(12, 40))));

INSERT INTO mlstr_example VALUES
  (MultiLineStringFromText(
    'MULTILINESTRING((0 40, 0 20, 6 30, 12 20, 12 40),
    (15 40, 15 20, 25 20, 30 25, 30 35, 25 40, 15 40))')),
  (MLineFromText('MULTILINESTRING((0 0, 1 1, 2 2))')),
  (MultiLineString(
    LineString(Point(0, 40), Point(0, 20)),
    LineString(Point(6, 30), Point(12, 20), Point(12, 40))));

SELECT ST_AsWKT(m) FROM mlstr_example;
