# ST_DISJOINT¶

Returns TRUE if the two GEOGRAPHY objects or the two GEOMETRY objects are disjoint (i.e. do not share any portion of space). ST_DISJOINT is equivalent to NOT ST_INTERSECTS(expr1, expr2).

Note

This function does not support using a GeometryCollection or FeatureCollection as input values.

ST_INTERSECTS

## Syntax¶

ST_DISJOINT( <geography_expression_1> , <geography_expression_2> )

ST_DISJOINT( <geometry_expression_1> , <geometry_expression_2> )


## Arguments¶

geography_expression_1

A GEOGRAPHY object.

geography_expression_2

A GEOGRAPHY object.

geometry_expression_1

A GEOMETRY object.

geometry_expression_2

A GEOMETRY object.

BOOLEAN.

## Usage Notes¶

• For GEOMETRY objects, the function reports an error if the two input GEOMETRY objects have different SRIDs.

## Examples¶

### GEOGRAPHY Examples¶

The following examples use the ST_DISJOINT function to determine if two geospatial objects are disjoint:

-- These two polygons are disjoint and do not intersect.
SELECT ST_DISJOINT(
TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((0 0, 2 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0))'),
TO_GEOGRAPHY('POLYGON((3 3, 5 3, 5 5, 3 5, 3 3))')
);
