Predicate (Snowflake)

Note

Please always keep the schema name SEDONA (e.g., SEDONA.ST_GeomFromWKT) when you use Sedona functions to avoid conflicting with Snowflake's built-in functions.

ST_Contains¶

Introduction: Return true if A fully contains B

Format: ST_Contains (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Contains(ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0), pointdf.arealandmark)

ST_Crosses¶

Introduction: Return true if A crosses B

Format: ST_Crosses (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Crosses(pointdf.arealandmark, ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0))

ST_Disjoint¶

Introduction: Return true if A and B are disjoint

Format: ST_Disjoint (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM geom
WHERE ST_Disjoinnt(geom.geom_a, geom.geom_b)

ST_DWithin¶

Introduction: Returns true if 'leftGeometry' and 'rightGeometry' are within a specified 'distance'. This function essentially checks if the shortest distance between the envelope of the two geometries is <= the provided distance.

Format: ST_DWithin (leftGeometry: Geometry, rightGeometry: Geometry, distance: Double)

SQL Example:

SELECT ST_DWithin(ST_GeomFromWKT('POINT (0 0)'), ST_GeomFromWKT('POINT (1 0)'), 2.5)

Output:

true

ST_Equals¶

Introduction: Return true if A equals to B

Format: ST_Equals (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Equals(pointdf.arealandmark, ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0))

ST_Intersects¶

Introduction: Return true if A intersects B

Format: ST_Intersects (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Intersects(ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0), pointdf.arealandmark)

ST_OrderingEquals¶

Introduction: Returns true if the geometries are equal and the coordinates are in the same order

Format: ST_OrderingEquals(A: geometry, B: geometry)

SQL example 1:

SELECT ST_OrderingEquals(ST_GeomFromWKT('POLYGON((2 0, 0 2, -2 0, 2 0))'), ST_GeomFromWKT('POLYGON((2 0, 0 2, -2 0, 2 0))'))

Output: true

SQL example 2:

SELECT ST_OrderingEquals(ST_GeomFromWKT('POLYGON((2 0, 0 2, -2 0, 2 0))'), ST_GeomFromWKT('POLYGON((0 2, -2 0, 2 0, 0 2))'))

Output: false

ST_Overlaps¶

Introduction: Return true if A overlaps B

Format: ST_Overlaps (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM geom
WHERE ST_Overlaps(geom.geom_a, geom.geom_b)

ST_Touches¶

Introduction: Return true if A touches B

Format: ST_Touches (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Touches(pointdf.arealandmark, ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0))

ST_Within¶

Introduction: Return true if A is fully contained by B

Format: ST_Within (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Within(pointdf.arealandmark, ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0))

ST_Covers¶

Introduction: Return true if A covers B

Format: ST_Covers (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_Covers(ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0), pointdf.arealandmark)

ST_CoveredBy¶

Introduction: Return true if A is covered by B

Format: ST_CoveredBy (A:geometry, B:geometry)

SQL example:

SELECT *
FROM pointdf
WHERE ST_CoveredBy(pointdf.arealandmark, ST_PolygonFromEnvelope(1.0,100.0,1000.0,1100.0))
