Spatial Coordinate Transformation with ST_Transform
A planar geometry in SAP HANA Cloud is a spatial data type used to represent flat, two-dimensional shapes — such as points, lines, or polygons — stored directly in an SAP HANA database. Developers use planar geometries to model real-world locations and areas, enabling spatial operations such as determining the distance to a target point of interest. They are added to SAP HANA Cloud tables as part of spatial data workflows, as described in the tutorial Add Planar Geometries to SAP HANA Database in SAP HANA Cloud.

Prerequisites
- Concept Well-Known Text (WKT) and ST_GeomFromText in SAP HANA A definition cannot be written because no concept was provided and the supplied sources do not identify a specific SAP developer concept to define. Please provide a valid concept name so that a grounded definition can be produced.
- Concept Geospatial Coordinate Systems (WGS 84, GPS, Projections) The concept name was not provided (`undefined`), so a specific definition cannot be written. Please supply the concept name so that a grounded, accurate definition can be produced from the available sources.
- Concept SAP HANA Spatial Reference Systems (SRS) The concept name is missing or undefined, so a specific definition cannot be written. Please provide a valid SAP developer concept to define.
