Description
Determines if the minimum bounding rectangles (MBR) of two geometry objects intersect.
Syntax
MI_EnvelopesIntersect ( geometry1, geometry2 )
Arguments
geometry1 and geometry2 are geometry objects (or expressions).
Example
Determines if the minimum bounding rectangles (MBR) of the point and the countries geometry intersect.
select MI_EnvelopesIntersect(MI_Point(-76,45,'epsg:4326'),[Geometry_Column]) from countries where country='Canada'Remarks
Returns true if the MBR of geometry1 intersects the MBR of geometry2, false otherwise. If either geometry1 or geometry2 are null, false is returned. The function is performed using the coordinate system of the first argument (geometry1).
