Expand description
ST_Contains — geometry A fully contains geometry B.
DE-9IM pattern: T*****FF* — B’s interior intersects A’s interior, and B does not intersect A’s exterior. A point on A’s boundary is NOT contained (strict OGC semantics). Use ST_Covers for boundary-inclusive.
Implementation: bbox pre-filter → exact geometry test.
