create.select(
stContains(
stGeomFromText("POLYGON ((-3 -1, -1 -1, -1 1, -3 1, -3 -1))"),
stGeomFromText("POINT (-2 0)")
),
stContains(
stGeomFromText("POLYGON ((3 -1, 1 -1, 1 1, 3 1, 3 -1))"),
stGeomFromText("POINT (4 0)")
)
).fetch();
The result being, for example
+-------------+-------------+ | ST_Contains | ST_Contains | +-------------+-------------+ | true | false | +-------------+-------------+
