Returns the specified interior ring of a Polygongeometry instance.
.STInteriorRingN ( expression ) expression
Is an int expression between 1 and the number of interior rings in the geometry instance.
SQL Server return type: geometry
CLR return type: SqlGeometry
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) type: LineString
This method returns null if the geometry instance is not a polygon. This method will also throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the expression is larger than the number of rings. The number of rings can be returned using STNumInteriorRing``().
The following example creates a Polygon instance and uses STInteriorRingN() to return the interior ring of the polygon as a LineString.
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.STInteriorRingN(1).ToString();
