BigQuery Client - Class Geography (1.24.2)

Represents a value with a data type of Geography.

A value is expected to be in well-known text format, but there is no validation on client side. Polygons are oriented. It means that, for example, value POLYGON((0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1, 0 0)) represents a (almost) square region, and POLYGON((0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 1 0, 0 0)) represents the whole Earth surface except that square.

Example:

use Google\Cloud\BigQuery\BigQueryClient;

$bigQuery = new BigQueryClient();

$geography = $bigQuery->geography('POINT(30 60)');
