ST_Disjoint

Name

ST_Disjoint — Returns TRUE if the Geometries do not "spatially intersect" - if they do not share any space together.

Synopsis

boolean ST_Disjoint ( geometry A , geometry B ) ;

Description

Overlaps, Touches, Within all imply geometries are not spatially disjoint. If any of the aforementioned returns true, then the geometries are not spatially disjoint. Disjoint implies false for spatial intersection.

[Important]

Enhanced: 3.0.0 enabled support for GEOMETRYCOLLECTION

Performed by the GEOS module

[Note]

This function call does not use indexes

[Note]

NOTE: this is the "allowable" version that returns a boolean, not an integer.
