| spatialite:querying-polygons-using-within | spatialite | querying-polygons-using-within | Querying polygons using within() | The within() SQL function can be used to check if a point is within a geometry: select name from places where within(GeomFromText('POINT(-3.1724366 51.4704448)'), places.geom); The GeomFromText() function takes a string of well-known text. Note that the order used here is longitude then latitude . To run that same within() query in a way that benefits from the spatial index, use the following: select name from places where within(GeomFromText('POINT(-3.1724366 51.4704448)'), places.geom) and rowid in ( SELECT pkid FROM idx_places_geom where xmin < -3.1724366 and xmax > -3.1724366 and ymin < 51.4704448 and ymax > 51.4704448 ); | ["SpatiaLite"] | [] |
