ST_EnvIntersects

Definition

ST_EnvIntersects returns 1 (true) if the envelopes of two geometries intersect; otherwise, it returns 0 (false).

Syntax

Oracle

sde.st_envintersects (geometry1 sde.st_geometry, geometry2 sde.st_geometry)
sde.st_envintersects (geometry1 sde.st_geometry, minx number, miny number, maxx number, maxy number)

SQLite

st_envintersects (geometry1 geometryblob, geometry2 geoemtryblob)
st_envintersects (geometry1 geoemtryblob, minx float64, miny float64, maxx float64, maxy float64)

Return type

Boolean

Example

This example searches for a geometry that has an envelope intersected by the defined polygon.

The first SELECT statement compares the envelopes of the two geometries and the geometries themselves to see whether the features or the envelopes intersect.

The second SELECT statement uses an envelope to detect which features, if any, fall inside the envelope you pass in with the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement.
