Syntax
GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS ( geo1, geo2 )
Arguments
- geo1, geo2: any valid geospatial object or WKT string: path, point or polygon.

Return Type
Boolean
Examples
SELECT id, name FROM neighborhoods
WHERE
GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS("POINT(-73.94990499 40.69150746)", shape);
SELECT *
FROM neighborhoods WITH (index = shape, resolution = 16)
WHERE GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS(shape,"POLYGON(...)");
Info
The with (index = c, resolution = n) syntax is an optional optimization discussed in the section Special Spatial Tuning Parameters.
