Examples
The following example uses STPolyFromWKB()
to create a geometry
instance.
DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STPolyFromWKB(0x0103000000010000000400000000000000000014400000000000001440000000000000244000000000000014400000000000002440000000000000244000000000000014400000000000001440, 0);
SELECT @g.STAsText();
