Returns a row, containing a boolean valid stating if a geometry is valid, a string reason stating why it is invalid and a geometry location pointing out where it is invalid. This function is a combination of ST_IsValid and ST_IsValidReason. The flags parameter is a bitfield with the following options:
  • 0 (default): Use usual OGC SFS (Simple Features Specification) validity semantics.
  • 1: “ESRI flag”, Accepts certain self-touching rings as valid, which are considered invalid under OGC standards.
