# ST\_LongFromGeoHash

{% hint style="info" %}
ST\_LongFromGeoHash is available from [MariaDB 12.0](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/12.0/what-is-mariadb-120.md).
{% endhint %}

## Syntax

```bnf
ST_LongFromGeoHash(geohash)
```

## Description

Decodes a given `geohash` string and returns the longitude in the interval \[180, -180].

If the argument is NULL, the return value is NULL. If the argument is invalid, an ER\_INCORRECT\_TYPE error is thrown.

The [ST\_GeoHash](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/miscellaneous-gis-functions/st_geohash.md) function can be used to generate geohashes.

## Examples

```sql
SELECT ST_LongFromGeoHash('zzzzzzzzz'), ST_LongFromGeoHash('sj248j248j248j2');           
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
| ST_LongFromGeoHash('zzzzzzzzz') | ST_LongFromGeoHash('sj248j248j248j2') |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
|                             180 |                                     0 |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
```
