The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5889 Logged by: Konrad Garus Email address: konrad.ga...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4 Operating system: Linux Description: "Intersects" for polygons broken Details:
&& operator seems to be broken for polygons whose bounding boxes intersect: select polygon'((0,0), (1,2), (0,2))' && polygon'((0.5, 0), (1,0), (1,1))'; ?column? ---------- t (1 row) It reportedly is different in 9.0 (http://stackoverflow.com/q/5015233/277683) Docs could do better job explaining what types each of the geometry operator supports, and whether intersecting polygons support nonconvex polygons as well, or only uses bounding box as criteria. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
