MySQL provides several MySQL-specific functions that test the
relationship between minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of two
geometries g1 and
g2. The return values 1 and 0
indicate true and false, respectively.
A corresponding set of MBR functions defined according to the OpenGIS specification is described later in this section.
Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangle of
g1contains the minimum bounding rectangle ofg2. This tests the opposite relationship asMBRWithin().mysql> SET @g1 = ST_GeomFromText('Polygon((0 0,0 3,3 3,3 0,0 0))'); mysql> SET @g2 = ST_GeomFromText('Point(1 1)'); mysql> SELECT MBRContains(@g1,@g2), MBRWithin(@g2,@g1); +----------------------+--------------------+ | MBRContains(@g1,@g2) | MBRWithin(@g2,@g1) | +----------------------+--------------------+ | 1 | 1 | +----------------------+--------------------+MBRContains()andContains()are synonyms.Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangle of
g1is covered by the minimum bounding rectangle ofg2. This tests the opposite relationship asMBRCovers().MBRCoveredBy()handles its arguments as follows:If either argument is
NULLor an empty geometry, the return value isNULL.If either argument is not a syntactically well-formed geometry byte string, an
ER_GIS_INVALID_DATAerror occurs.Otherwise, the return value is non-
NULL.

Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2are disjoint (do not intersect).MBRDisjoint()andDisjoint()are synonyms.Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2are the same.MBREqual()is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future MySQL release. UseMBREquals()instead.Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2are the same.MBREquals(),MBREqual(), andEquals()are synonyms.Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2intersect.MBRIntersects()andIntersects()are synonyms.Two geometries spatially overlap if they intersect and their intersection results in a geometry of the same dimension but not equal to either of the given geometries.
This function returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2overlap.MBROverlaps()andOverlaps()are synonyms.Two geometries spatially touch if their interiors do not intersect, but the boundary of one of the geometries intersects either the boundary or the interior of the other.
This function returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangles of the two geometries
g1andg2touch.Returns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the minimum bounding rectangle of
g1is within the minimum bounding rectangle ofg2. This tests the opposite relationship asMBRContains().mysql> SET @g1 = ST_GeomFromText('Polygon((0 0,0 3,3 3,3 0,0 0))'); mysql> SET @g2 = ST_GeomFromText('Polygon((0 0,0 5,5 5,5 0,0 0))'); mysql> SELECT MBRWithin(@g1,@g2), MBRWithin(@g2,@g1); +--------------------+--------------------+ | MBRWithin(@g1,@g2) | MBRWithin(@g2,@g1) | +--------------------+--------------------+ | 1 | 0 | +--------------------+--------------------+MBRWithin()andWithin()are synonyms.
The OpenGIS specification defines the following functions that
test the relationship between two geometry values
g1 and g2.
The MySQL implementation uses minimum bounding rectangles, so
these functions return the same result as the corresponding
MBR-based functions described earlier in this section. The
return values 1 and 0 indicate true and false, respectively.
These functions support all argument type combinations except those that are inapplicable according to the Open Geospatial Consortium specification.
