Format
SDO_ANYINTERACT(geometry1, geometry2);
Description
Checks if any geometries in a table have the ANYINTERACT topological relationship with a specified geometry. Equivalent to specifying the SDO_RELATE operator with 'mask=ANYINTERACT'
.
See the section on the SDO_RELATE operator in this chapter for information about the operations performed by this operator and for usage requirements.
Keywords and Parameters
Value | Description |
---|---|
geometry1 |
Specifies a geometry column in a table. The column must be spatially indexed. Data type is SDO_GEOMETRY. |
geometry2 |
Specifies either a geometry from a table or a transient instance of a geometry. (Specified using a bind variable or SDO_GEOMETRY constructor.) Data type is SDO_GEOMETRY. |
Returns
The expression SDO_ANYINTERACT(geometry1,geometry2) = 'TRUE' evaluates to TRUE for object pairs that have the ANYINTERACT topological relationship, and FALSE otherwise.
Usage Notes
See the Usage Notes for the SDO_RELATE operator in this chapter.

Examples
The following example finds geometries that have the ANYINTERACT relationship with a query window (here, a rectangle with lower-left, upper-right coordinates 4,6, 8,8). (The example uses the definitions and data described in Simple Example: Inserting_ Indexing_ and Querying Spatial Data and illustrated in Figure 2-1.)
