ST_Extent返回由xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax(左下,右上坐标)组成的框:
osm=# select st_extent(way) from planet_osm_point;
st_extent

要检索与左下角对应的点,可以构建一个由左下角X坐标(st_xmin)和左下角Y坐标(st_ymin)组成的点,例如:
osm=# select st_astext(st_makepoint(st_xmin(st_extent(way)), st_ymin(st_extent(way))))
from planet_osm_point;
st_astext
------------------------------------------
POINT(2259828.73261444 5412478.55751597)
请注意,由于st_extent返回一个边界框,它会将SRID去除了几何图形,因此您可能希望将其添加到新创建的点(我正在使用900913来匹配我的OSM数据的SRID):
osm=# select st_asewkt(st_setsrid(st_makepoint(st_xmin(st_extent(way)), st_ymin(st_extent(way))), 900913))
from planet_osm_point;
st_astext
------------------------------------------
SRID=900913;POINT(2259828.73261444 5412478.55751597)
