	  <para>
		  A window function that returns a cluster number for each input geometry, using the 2D
          <link xlink:href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBSCAN">Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN)</link>
		  algorithm.  Unlike <xref linkend="ST_ClusterKMeans"/>, it does not require the number of clusters to be specified, but instead
		  uses the desired <link linkend="ST_Distance">distance</link> (<varname>eps</varname>) and density (<varname>minpoints</varname>) parameters to determine each cluster.
	  </para>

	  <para>
		  An input geometry is added to a cluster if it is either:
		  <itemizedlist>
              <listitem>
                  <para>
                      A "core" geometry, that is within <varname>eps</varname> <link linkend="ST_Distance">distance</link> of at least <varname>minpoints</varname> input geometries (including itself); or
                  </para>
			  </listitem>
			  <listitem>
                  <para>
                      A "border" geometry, that is within <varname>eps</varname> <link linkend="ST_Distance">distance</link> of a core geometry.
                  </para>
			  </listitem>
		  </itemizedlist>
		</para>

		<para>
		  Note that border geometries may be within <varname>eps</varname> distance of core geometries in more than one cluster.
      Either assignment would be correct, so the border geometry will be arbitrarily asssigned to one of the available clusters.
		  In this situation it is possible for a correct cluster to be generated with fewer than <varname>minpoints</varname> geometries.
		  To ensure deterministic assignment of border geometries
      (so that repeated calls to ST_ClusterDBSCAN will produce identical results)
      use an <code>ORDER BY</code> clause in the window definition.
      Ambiguous cluster assignments may differ from other DBSCAN implementations.
	  </para>

	  <note><para>
		  Geometries that do not meet the criteria to join any cluster are assigned a cluster number of NULL.

        <para>A window function that returns a cluster number for each input geometry.
        Clustering partitions the geometries into sets
        in which each geometry is within the specified <varname>distance</varname>
        of at least one other geometry in the same cluster.
        Distances are Cartesian distances in the units of the SRID.
