Overlaps
Description
Determines if a geometry (testGeometry) object overlaps (shares geometric features) with another geometry (containerGeometry) object of similar type. This operation is for geometries of similar types only. For Example, Points and points, linestrings and linestrings, polygons and polygons.
Syntax
Overlaps ( testGeometry, containerGeometry )
Arguments
containerGeometry and testGeometry are geometry objects (or expressions) with similar types.
Example
Determines if the defined box overlaps any of the specified countries.
select Overlaps(MI_Box(-13.36676789,8.05796847,79.06334219,62.70540978,'epsg:4326'),[Geometry_Column]) from countries where country = ANY ('Mauritania','Mali','Algeria')
Remarks
Returns true if testGeometry overlaps the containerGeometry, false otherwise. The Overlaps operation will return false in cases where the geometries are different types. If either containerGeometry or testGeometry are null, false is returned.
