ST_Contains

Contains

ST_Contains takes two geometry columns and returns a boolean column. The result is True if the geometry in the first column completely contains the second; otherwise, it is False.

If the two geometry columns are in different spatial references, the function will automatically transform the second geometry into the spatial reference of the first.
