Synopsis
+geometry +ST_GeomFromWKB(+`bytea `+geom`)`;
+geometry +ST_GeomFromWKB(+`bytea `+geom, integer
srid`)`;
Description
The ST_PointFromWKB function, takes a well-known binary
representation of geometry and a Spatial Reference System ID (SRID)
and creates an instance of the appropriate geometry type - in this case,
a POINT geometry. This function plays the role of the Geometry
Factory in SQL.
If an SRID is not specified, it defaults to 0. NULL is returned if
the input bytea does not represent a POINT geometry.
