ST_LineFromBinary takes a binary column and returns a linestring column.
The input binary column must contain the
well-known binary (WKB)
representation of linestring geometries. You can optionally specify a spatial reference for the result linestring column.
The sr parameter value must be a valid SRID or WKT string.
If a linestring cannot be created from the input binary the function will return null.
