Name

ST_MakeBox2D — Creates a BOX2D defined by the given point geometries.

Synopsis

box2d ST_MakeBox2D ( geometry pointLowLeft , geometry pointUpRight ) ;

Description

Creates a BOX2D defined by the given point geometries. This is useful for doing range queries

Examples

--Return all features that fall reside or partly reside in a US national atlas coordinate bounding box
--It is assumed here that the geometries are stored with SRID = 2163 (US National atlas equal area)
