postgres-error: function st_intersects(geography, geography, integer) does not exist


I have a table business_locations with a postGIS location column and I try to fetch the rows that are within a bounding box (function arguments).

I am trying to run this function in Hasura:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_businesses_near_project(lngW integer, latS integer, lngE integer, latN integer)
RETURNS SETOF business_locations AS $$
  SELECT  A.location, A.route, A.locality, A.administrative_area_level_1, A.administrative_area_level_2, A.country, A.business_id
  FROM business_locations A where ST_Intersects(A.location::geography, ST_MakeEnvelope(lngW, latS, lngE, latN, 4326)::geography, 4326)
$$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;

The error returned:

{
    "internal": {
        "statement": "CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_businesses_near_project(project_location geography, lngW integer, latS integer, lngE integer, latN integer)\r\nRETURNS SETOF business_locations AS $$\r\n  SELECT  A.location, A.route, A.locality, A.administrative_area_level_1, A.administrative_area_level_2, A.country, A.business_id\r\n  FROM business_locations A where ST_Intersects(project_location, ST_MakeEnvelope(lngW, latS, lngE, latN, 4326)::geography, 4326)\r\n$$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;",
        "prepared": false,
        "error": {
            "exec_status": "FatalError",
            "hint": "No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.",
            "message": "function st_intersects(geography, geography, integer) does not exist",
            "status_code": "42883",
            "description": null
        },
        "arguments": []
    },
    "path": "$.args[0].args",
    "error": "query execution failed",
    "code": "postgres-error"
}

Solution

  • st_intersects takes only two arguments. Omit the superfluous SRID:

    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_businesses_near_project(
       lngW integer,
       latS integer,
       lngE integer,
       latN integer
    ) RETURNS SETOF business_locations AS $$
       SELECT *
       FROM business_locations A
       WHERE st_intersects(
                A.location::geography,
                ST_MakeEnvelope(lngW, latS, lngE, latN, 4326)::geography
       )
    $$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;
