定義
ST_Difference は、2 つのジオメトリ オブジェクトを入力として、ソース オブジェクトと一致しないジオメトリ オブジェクトを返します。
構文
Oracle および PostgreSQL
sde.st_difference (geometry1 sde.st_geometry, geometry2 sde.st_geometry)
SQLite
st_difference (geometry1 geometryblob, geometry2 geometryblob)
戻り値のタイプ

例
この例では、都市エンジニアは、建物に占有されていない都市の区画の合計面積を知る必要があるため、建物の面積を除いた後の区画の合計面積を求めています。
都市エンジニアは、建物と区画テーブルを lot_id で等価結合し、区画から建物を引いた一致しない部分の面積の合計を取得しています。
