## Name

&& — Returns `TRUE` if A's 2D bounding box intersects B's 2D bounding box.

## Synopsis

`boolean &&(` geometry A , geometry B `)`;

`boolean &&(` geography A , geography B `)`;

## Description

The `&&` operator returns `TRUE` if the 2D bounding box of geometry A intersects the 2D bounding box of geometry B.

This operand will make use of any indexes that may be available on the geometries.

Enhanced: 2.0.0 support for Polyhedral surfaces was introduced.

Availability: 1.5.0 support for geography was introduced.

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

## Examples

    SELECT tbl1.column1, tbl2.column1, tbl1.column2 && tbl2.column2 AS overlaps
    FROM ( VALUES
    	(1, 'LINESTRING(0 0, 3 3)'::geometry),
    	(2, 'LINESTRING(0 1, 0 5)'::geometry)) AS tbl1,
    ( VALUES
    	(3, 'LINESTRING(1 2, 4 6)'::geometry)) AS tbl2;

     column1 | column1 | overlaps
    ---------+---------+----------
    	   1 |       3 | t
    	   2 |       3 | f
    (2 rows)
