Incorporating polygons in PostgreSQL using PostGIS allows us to represent complex geographical areas, ensuring we can define closed shapes accurately through coordinates.
A polygon in PostGIS is created by providing coordinates with an outer ring to define boundaries, and inner rings can represent holes, ensuring proper geometric integrity.
Drizzle ORM currently does not support polygon data handling directly; however, custom types can be created for seamless integration when working with geographical data.
In addition, using GeoJSON format provides a structured method to represent polygons, detailing their geometrical characteristics through an array of coordinates defining outer and inner rings.
