<para>The <varname>=</varname> operator returns <varname>TRUE</varname> if the bounding box of geometry/geography A
|
|
is the same as the bounding box of geometry/geography B. PostgreSQL uses the =, <, and > operators defined for geometries to
|
|
perform internal orderings and comparison of geometries (ie. in a GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause).</para>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>This is cause for a lot of confusion. When you compare geometryA =
|
|
geometryB it will return true even when the geometries are clearly
|
|
different IF their bounding boxes are the same. To check for true
|
|
equality use <xref linkend="ST_OrderingEquals" /> or <xref
|
|
linkend="ST_Equals" /></para>

|
<para>Changed: 2.0.0 , the bounding box of geometries was changed to use double precision instead of float4 precision of
|
|
prior. The side effect of this is that in particular points in prior versions that were a little different may have returned
|
|
true in prior versions and false in 2.0+ since their float4 boxes would be the same but there float8 (double precision), would be
|
|
different.</para>

<para>This operator has changed behavior in PostGIS 1.5

from testing for actual geometric equality to only

checking for bounding box equality. To complicate things

it also depends on if you have done a hard or soft upgrade
|

which behavior your database has. To find out which behavior
|
|
your database has you can run the query below.
|
|
To check for true equality use <xref linkend="ST_OrderingEquals" /> or <xref
|
|
linkend="ST_Equals" /> and to check for bounding box equality <xref linkend="ST_Geometry_EQ" />;
|
|
operator is a safer option.</para>
