STTouches (geometry Data Type)

[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance]

Returns 1 if a geometry instance spatially touches another geometry instance. Returns 0 if it does not.

Syntax

  
.STTouches ( other_geometry )  

Arguments

other_geometry
Is another geometry instance to compare against the instance on which STTouches() is invoked.

Return Types

[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] return type: bit

CLR return type: SqlBoolean

Remarks

Two geometry instances touch if their point sets intersect, but their interiors do not intersect.

This method always returns null if the spatial reference IDs (SRIDs) of the geometry instances do not match.

Examples

The following example uses STTouches() to test two geometry instances to see if they touch.

DECLARE @g geometry;  
DECLARE @h geometry;  
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 2, 2 0, 4 2)', 0);  
SET @h = geometry::STGeomFromText('POINT(1 1)', 0);  
SELECT @g.STTouches(@h);
