ST_Overlaps

Overlaps

ST_Overlaps takes two geometry columns and returns a boolean column. The function returns True if the first geometry and the second geometry spatially overlap; otherwise, it returns False. Two geometries overlap when their intersection is the same geometry type as either of the inputs but not equal to either of the inputs.
