# MBRContains

## Syntax

```bnf
MBRContains(g1,g2)
```

## Description

Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the [Minimum Bounding Rectangle](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbr-definition.md) of g1 contains the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of g2. This tests the opposite relationship as [MBRWithin()](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/geometry-constructors/mbr-minimum-bounding-rectangle/mbrwithin.md).

## Examples

```sql
SET @g1 = GeomFromText('Polygon((0 0,0 3,3 3,3 0,0 0))');

SET @g2 = GeomFromText('Point(1 1)');

SELECT MBRContains(@g1,@g2), MBRContains(@g2,@g1);
+----------------------+----------------------+
| MBRContains(@g1,@g2) | MBRContains(@g2,@g1) |
+----------------------+----------------------+
|                    1 |                    0 |
+----------------------+----------------------+
```
