[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance FabricSQLDB]
Returns the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation of a geometry instance.
.STAsBinary ( )
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] return type: varbinary(max)
CLR return type: SqlBytes
The following example creates a LineString geometry instance from (0,0) to (2,3) from text. STAsBinary() returns the result in WKB.
DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 2 3)', 0);
SELECT @g.STAsBinary();
