Name

ST_Disjoint — Returns true if two geometries do not intersect (they have no point in common).

Synopsis

boolean ST_Disjoint( geometry A , geometry B );

Description

Overlaps, Touches, Within all imply geometries are not spatially disjoint. If any of the aforementioned returns true, then the geometries are not spatially disjoint. Disjoint implies false for spatial intersection.

[Important]

Enhanced: 3.0.0 enabled support for GEOMETRYCOLLECTION

Performed by the GEOS module

[Note]

This function call does not use indexes

[Note]

NOTE: this is the "allowable" version that returns a boolean, not an integer.
