Name

ST_Disjoint — Tests if two geometries have no points 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. 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]

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