SQL Server return type: int

Examples

The following example creates a Polygon instance and uses STNumInteriorRing() to find how many interior rings the instance has.

DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((0 0, 3 0, 3 3, 0 3, 0 0),(2 2, 2 1, 1 1, 1 2, 2 2))', 0);
SELECT @g.STNumInteriorRing();
