# ST_MakeLine

Introduction: Creates a geography LineString containing the coordinates of two Point, MultiPoint, or LineString geographies. Other geography types cause an error. When the result is passed to geography measurement functions, its edges are interpreted as great-circle arcs.

Format:

`ST_MakeLine(geog1: Geography, geog2: Geography)`

Return type: `Geography`

Since: `v1.9.1`

Only the two-argument signature accepts Geography inputs. The array/aggregate form of `ST_MakeLine` remains Geometry-only. Repeated and coincident Point or MultiPoint coordinates are preserved. When the second input is a LineString whose first coordinate matches the current endpoint, that seam coordinate appears only once.

The output copies the first input's SRID without transforming either input or validating that their SRIDs match. If the inputs have different SRIDs, the second input's SRID is ignored. An SRID of `0` on the first input remains `0`.

SQL Example

```sql
SELECT
  ST_AsText(line),
  ST_Length(line)
FROM (
  SELECT ST_MakeLine(
    ST_GeogFromWKT('POINT (0 0)', 4326),
    ST_GeogFromWKT('POINT (1 0)', 4326)
  ) AS line
);
```

Output:

```
LINESTRING (0 0, 1 0) | 111195.06627089891
```
