Hi folks,

I'm evaluating features of different spatial databases as part of my bachelor 
thesis. My comparison includes PostGIS, DB2 spatial extender and MS SQL-Server. 

I'm looking for an overview listing those PostGIS functions using the spatial 
index. The other DBMS documentations state exactly which functions do use an 
index, which I miss in the PostGIS documentation.

Is it right to say that - from the set of OGC topology/measurement functions - 
the following are using the index?

Equals, Intersects, Touches, Crosses, Within, Contains, Overlaps

And not: Distance, Disjoint, Relate? (This in fact is stated in the docs [1]).

Thanks!

Regards,
Andreas
