H3_GRID_DISK¶

Returns an array of the IDs of the H3 cells that are within the k-distance from the specified cell. The IDs in the returned ARRAY are INTEGER values (if an INTEGER value was provided as the input ID) or VARCHAR values containing the hexadecimal IDs (if a hexadecimal ID was provided as the input ID).

Syntax¶

H3_GRID_DISK( <cell_id> , <k_value> )

Copy

Arguments¶

cell_id: An INTEGER that represents the H3 cell ID (index (https://h3geo.org/docs/core-library/h3Indexing)), or a VARCHAR that represents the cell ID in hexadecimal format.
k_value: An INTEGER that represents the grid distance. You must specify a non-negative value.

Returns¶

Returns an ARRAY of the IDs of H3 cells that are within the distance k_value from the cell specified by cell_id. The IDs are in one of the following formats:

If cell_id is an INTEGER value, the function returns the IDs as INTEGER values.
If cell_id is a VARCHAR value containing the hexadecimal ID, the function returns the hexadecimal IDs as VARCHAR values.

Examples¶

The following example returns an ARRAY of the IDs of H3 cells within the grid distance of 1 from the cell with the ID 617540519050084351 (specified as an INTEGER value).

SELECT H3_GRID_DISK(617540519050084351, 1);
