ST_Disjoint
Signature
BOOLEAN ST_Disjoint(GEOMETRY geomA, GEOMETRY geomB);
Description
Returns TRUE if geomA and geomB are disjoint.
Disjoint means that the two geometries have no point in common.
Warning
This function does not work on GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONs
Note
Implements the OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL version 1.2.1
Warning
This predicate does not yet support spatial indices, but it will in a future release. Use it in conjunction with && operator. See here for more details.
Examples
Cases where ST_Disjoint is true
