Syntax

ST_SYMDIFFERENCE(g1,g2)

Description

Returns a geometry that represents the portions of geometry g1 and geometry g2 that don't intersect.

Examples

SET @g1 = ST_GEOMFROMTEXT('LINESTRING(10 20, 10 40)');

SET @g2 = ST_GEOMFROMTEXT('LINESTRING(10 15, 10 25)');

SELECT ASTEXT(ST_SYMDIFFERENCE(@g1,@g2));
+----------------------------------------------+
| ASTEXT(ST_SYMDIFFERENCE(@g1,@g2))            |
+----------------------------------------------+
| MULTILINESTRING((10 15,10 20),(10 25,10 40)) |
+----------------------------------------------+

SET @g2 = ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(10 20, 10 41)');

SELECT ASTEXT(ST_SYMDIFFERENCE(@g1,@g2));
+-----------------------------------+
| ASTEXT(ST_SYMDIFFERENCE(@g1,@g2)) |
