ST_Intersects

PDFRSS

ST_Intersects returns true if the 2D projections of the two input geometries have at least one point in common.

Syntax

ST_Intersects(geom1, geom2)

Arguments

geom1

A value of data type GEOMETRY or an expression that evaluates to a GEOMETRY type.

geom2

A value of data type GEOMETRY or an expression that evaluates to a GEOMETRY type.

Return type

BOOLEAN

If geom1 or geom2 is null, then null is returned.

If geom1 and geom2 don't have the same value for the spatial reference system identifier (SRID), then an error is returned.

If geom1 or geom2 is a geometry collection, then an error is returned.

Examples

The following SQL checks if the first polygon intersects the second polygon.

SELECT ST_Intersects(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0),(2 2,2 5,5 5,5 2,2 2))'), ST_GeomFromText('MULTIPOINT((4 4),(6 6))'));
