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