Description

Returns true if two geometries are disjoint. Geometries are disjoint if they have no point in common.

If any other spatial relationship is true for a pair of geometries, they are not disjoint. Disjoint implies that ST_Intersects is false.

In mathematical terms: ST_Disjoint(A, B) ⇔ A ⋂ B = ∅

	Enhanced: 3.0.0 enabled support for GEOMETRYCOLLECTION

Performed by the GEOS module

	This function call does not use indexes. A negated ST_Intersects predicate can be used as a more performant alternative that uses indexes: ST_Disjoint(A,B) = NOT ST_Intersects(A,B)

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