ST_Transform

Signature

GEOMETRY ST_Transform(GEOMETRY geom, INT srid);

Description

Transforms geom from its original coordinate reference system (CRS) to the CRS specified by srid.

Tip

Find the SRID you’re looking for

All available CRS SRIDs may be found by executing the query SELECT * FROM SPATIAL_REF_SYS;. Most SRIDs are EPSG, but the SPATIAL_REF_SYS table may be enriched by other CRSes.
