ApsaraDB RDS:ST_{2D|2DT|3D|3DT}Intersects_IndexLeft

Last Updated:Sep 18, 2023

This function is used to determine whether two objects intersect on a specified axis. This function also allows you to specify to use the index on the column that stores the first specified object.

Syntax

bool ST_{2D|2DT|3D|3DT}Intersects_IndexLeft(trajectory traj1, trajectory traj2, timestamp ts, timestamp te);

Parameters

Parameter

Description

traj1

The trajectory that you want to compare, or the original trajectory that includes the sub-trajectory that you want to compare.

traj2

The trajectory that you want to compare, or the original trajectory that includes the sub-trajectory that you want to compare.

ts

The beginning of the time range over which you want to extract sub-trajectories. This parameter is optional.

te

The end of the time range over which you want to extract sub-trajectories. This parameter is optional.

Description

If you call the ST_ndIntersects function to compare two sub-trajectories by using the ST_{2D|2DT|3D|3DT}Intersects(trajectory traj1, trajectory traj2, timestamp ts, timestamp te) syntax, the function cannot determine which index to use. This causes additional computing overheads.

We recommend that you use the ST_ndIntersects_IndexLeft(...) function. This function allows you to manually specify to use the index on the column that stores the first specified sub-trajectory. This reduces computing overheads.
