GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS
This function takes in two geospatial objects and determines whether any part of them overlap.
Syntax
GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS ( geo1, geo2 )
Arguments
- geo1, geo2: any valid geospatial object or WKT string: path, point or polygon.
Info
If both geo1 and geo2 are points, this function only returns true if they are identical.
Return Type
Boolean
Examples
select id, name from neighborhoods
where
GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS("POINT(-73.94990499 40.69150746)", shape);
select *
from neighborhoods with (index = shape, resolution = 16)
where geography_intersects(shape,"POLYGON(...)");
Info
The with (index = c, resolution = n) syntax is an optional optimization discussed in the section Special Spatial Tuning Parameters.
