INTERSECTS

Synonym for ST_INTERSECTS. Checks if two geometries intersect, meaning they share at least one common point.

Syntax

INTERSECTS(g1,g2)

Description

Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether geometry g1 spatially intersects geometry g2.

INTERSECTS() is based on the original MySQL implementation and uses object bounding rectangles, while ST_INTERSECTS() uses object shapes.

INTERSECTS() tests the opposite relationship to DISJOINT().
