Tests if an ST_Geometry value spatially contains another ST_Geometry value.
Argument … |
Specifies … |
ageometry |
the other ST_Geometry value. |
Returns an INTEGER value:
All ST_Geometry types except geometry collections.
Note: This method can be called on 3D geometries (those that include z coordinates). However, the z coordinate is ignored in method calculations.
Use of a geospatial index can greatly improve the performance of queries that use this method.
