# MBR (Minimum Bounding Rectangle)

- [MBR Definition](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbr-definition.md): Understand Minimum Bounding Rectangles. An MBR is the smallest rectangle that completely encloses a geometry, defined by its minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates.
- [MBRContains](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrcontains.md): Check if one MBR contains another. Returns 1 if the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of the first geometry completely encloses the MBR of the second geometry.
- [MBRCoveredBy](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrcoveredby.md): Check if one MBR is covered by another. Returns 1 if the MBR of the first geometry is entirely contained within the MBR of the second geometry.
- [MBRDisjoint](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrdisjoint.md): Check if two MBRs are disjoint. Returns 1 if the Minimum Bounding Rectangles of the two geometries do not intersect or touch at all.
- [MBREqual](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrequal.md): Check if two MBRs are identical. Returns 1 if the Minimum Bounding Rectangles of both geometries share the exact same coordinates.
- [MBRIntersects](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrintersects.md): Check if two MBRs intersect. Returns 1 if the Minimum Bounding Rectangles of the geometries share any portion of space, including boundaries.
- [MBROverlaps](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbroverlaps.md): Check if two MBRs overlap. Returns 1 if the MBRs intersect but neither completely contains the other, and they have the same dimension.
- [MBRTouches](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrtouches.md): Check if two MBRs touch. Returns 1 if the MBRs intersect only at their boundaries and do not share any interior points.
- [MBRWithin](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrwithin.md): Check if one MBR is within another. Returns 1 if the MBR of the first geometry is completely enclosed by the MBR of the second geometry.
