The function returns NULL if any of the inputs is NULL.

Error conditions​

Examples​

-- Returns the intersection of a multipoint and a polygon.
> SELECT st_astext(st_intersection(st_geomfromtext('MULTIPOINT(EMPTY,4 3,5 6,-1 8)'),st_geomfromtext('POLYGON((0 0,10 0,0 10,0 0))')));
  POINT(4 3)
-- Returns the intersection of two overlapping polygons.
> SELECT st_astext(st_intersection(st_geomfromtext('POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0))'),st_geomfromtext('POLYGON((5 5,15 5,15 15,5 15,5 5))')));
  POLYGON((5 5,10 5,10 10,5 10,5 5))
