[postgis-users] Difference between @ and ST_WITHIN/ST_CONTAINS

[Frank Durstewitz]

Hi,
can someone please explain, what the difference between

WHERE ST_CONTAINS(b.geom, e.geom)

and

WHERE e.geom @ b.geom

is? (b.geom are (multi-)polygons and e.geom are points)

I expect to get the same results, but with @ i get a few more records...?

TIA, Frank
