Description

The |>> operator returns TRUE if the bounding box of geometry A is strictly above the bounding box of geometry B.

	This operand will make use of any indexes that may be available on the geometries.

Examples

SELECT tbl1.column1, tbl2.column1, tbl1.column2 |>> tbl2.column2 AS above
FROM
  ( VALUES
	(1, 'LINESTRING (1 4, 1 7)'::geometry)) AS tbl1,
  ( VALUES
	(2, 'LINESTRING (0 0, 4 2)'::geometry),
	(3, 'LINESTRING (6 1, 6 5)'::geometry),
	(4, 'LINESTRING (2 3, 5 6)'::geometry)) AS tbl2;

 column1 | column1 | above
---------+---------+-------
	   1 |       2 | t
	   1 |       3 | f
	   1 |       4 | f
