ST_DISJOINT¶

Returns TRUE if the two GEOGRAPHY objects or the two GEOMETRY objects are disjoint (i.e. do not share any portion of space). ST_DISJOINT is equivalent to NOT ST_INTERSECTS(expr1, expr2).

Note

This function does not support using a GeometryCollection or FeatureCollection as input values.

See also:: ST_INTERSECTS

Syntax¶

ST_DISJOINT( <geography_expression_1> , <geography_expression_2> ) ST_DISJOINT( <geometry_expression_1> , <geometry_expression_2> ) 

Copy

Arguments¶

geography_expression_1: A GEOGRAPHY object.
geography_expression_2: A GEOGRAPHY object.
geometry_expression_1: A GEOMETRY object.
geometry_expression_2: A GEOMETRY object.

Returns¶

BOOLEAN.

Usage notes¶

For GEOMETRY objects, the function reports an error if the two input GEOMETRY objects have different SRIDs.

Examples¶

GEOGRAPHY examples¶

The following examples use the ST_DISJOINT function to determine if two geospatial objects are disjoint:

-- These two polygons are disjoint and do not intersect. SELECT ST_DISJOINT( TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'), TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((3 3, 5 3, 5 5, 3 5, 3 3))') ); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | ST_DISJOINT( | | TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'), | | TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((3 3, 5 3, 5 5, 3 5, 3 3))') | | ) | |---------------------------------------------------------| | True | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 

Copy

-- These two polygons intersect and are not disjoint. SELECT ST_DISJOINT( TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'), TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((1 1, 3 1, 3 3, 1 3, 1 1))') ); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | ST_DISJOINT( | | TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'), | | TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((1 1, 3 1, 3 3, 1 3, 1 1))') | | ) | |---------------------------------------------------------| | False | +---------------------------------------------------------+
