ST_Intersects with multiple geometries

What does ST_Intersects do?

Determines if two GEOMETRY or GEOGRAPHY objects intersect or touch at a single point. If ST_Disjoint returns TRUE, ST_Intersects returns FALSE for the same GEOMETRY or GEOGRAPHY objects.

What is the difference between ST_Intersects and ST_Contains?

ST_Intersects()



This function determines whether or not two geometries share the same space in any way. Unlike ST_Contains(), which tests whether or not one geometry is fully within another, ST_Intersects() looks for intersection between any parts of the geometries.

What is the difference between ST_Intersects and ST_Overlaps?

Use ST_Intersects to determine whether two geometries intersect. Use ST_Crosses to determine whether one geometry crosses another. Use ST_Overlaps to determine whether two geometries of the same dimension overlap.

What is spatial intersection?

Spatial intersection selects point, polyline or polygon features from a layer by using the boundaries of features from another polygon layer.

What is the opposite of ST_Intersects?

The opposite of ST_Intersects is ST_Disjoint(geometry A , geometry B). If two geometries are disjoint, they do not intersect, and vice-versa. In fact, it is often more efficient to test “not intersects” than to test “disjoint” because the intersects tests can be spatially indexed, while the disjoint test cannot.

What is the difference between ST_Contains and ST_Within in PostGIS?

ST_Contains is the inverse of ST_Within. So, ST_Contains(A,B) = ST_Within(B,A) . This function automatically includes a bounding box comparison that makes use of any spatial indexes that are available on the geometries. To avoid index use, use the function _ST_Contains .

What is Srid in geometry?

A spatial reference identifier (SRID) is a unique identifier associated with a specific coordinate system, tolerance, and resolution.
