  • Article

APPLIES TO: NoSQL

Returns a boolean indicating whether the GeoJSON object (Point, Polygon, MultiPolygon, or LineString) specified in the first argument intersects the GeoJSON object in the second argument.

Syntax

ST_INTERSECTS(<spatial_expr_1>, <spatial_expr_2>)

Arguments

Description
spatial_expr_1 Any valid GeoJSON Point, Polygon, MultiPolygon or LineString expression.
spatial_expr_2 Any valid GeoJSON Point, Polygon, MultiPolygon or LineString expression.

Return types

Returns a boolean value.

Examples

The following example shows how to find if two polygons intersect.

Remarks

  • This function benefits from a geospatial index except in queries with aggregates.
  • The GeoJSON specification requires that points within a Polygon be specified in counter-clockwise order. A Polygon specified in clockwise order represents the inverse of the region within it.
