ST_Overlaps

Determine whether two geometries overlap, that is, whether their DE-9IM intersection matrix is T*T***T**, or, for two lines, 1*T***T**.

All coordinate systems are treated as being Cartesian.

Syntax

ST_Overlaps(geo1, geo2);
geo1
The first input geometry.

Type: VARCHAR(ANY)

geo2
The second input geometry.

Type: VARCHAR(ANY)

Returns

A value of type BOOL that is TRUE if the two geometries overlap; otherwise FALSE.

Examples

SELECT inza..ST_Overlaps(inza..ST_WKTToSQL('LINESTRING (0 0, 10 10)'),
            inza..ST_WKTToSQL('LINESTRING (5 5, 11 11)'));
