ST_DFullyWithin — Tests if a geometry is entirely inside a distance of another
boolean
ST_DFullyWithin
(
geometry
g1
, geometry
g2
, double precision
distance
)
;
Returns true if
g2
is entirely within
distance
of
g1
. Visually, the
condition is true if
g2
is contained within
a
distance
buffer of
g1
.
The distance is specified in units defined by the
spatial reference system of the geometries.
This function automatically includes a bounding box comparison that makes use of any spatial indexes that are available on the geometries. |
Availability: 1.5.0
Changed: 3.5.0 : the logic behind the function now uses a test of containment within a buffer, rather than the ST_MaxDistance algorithm. Results will differ from prior versions, but should be closer to user expectations.
