ST_Point

ST_Point takes two numeric columns or double values and returns a point column. The two numeric columns or values must contain the x,y coordinates of the point geometries. You can optionally specify a spatial reference for the result point column. The sr parameter value must be a valid SRID or WKT string.

To create point geometries with a z-coordinate and/or m-value, use ST_PointZ, ST_PointZM, ST_PointM, or ST_MakePoint.
