Great job!

The first spatial function we're going to learn about is ST_Equals. As the name suggests, the function simply checks whether two geometries given as arguments are the same geometry—that is, whether they represent the same location or region on a map. Let's look at the example query:

SELECT
  ss.name
FROM sf_sights ss
JOIN sf_restaurants sep
  ON ST_Equals(ss.coordinates, sep.coordinates)

In the above query, we check whether there are geometries worth visiting as eating places (located in the table that contains restaurants) that are also considered to be attractions (they are also present in the sf_sights table).

Notice that we used ST_Equals as a joining condition. This is not your typical join with equality (equi-join). Here, we're using a function to create a join condition. You'll soon see that this type of JOIN is very common in spatial SQL series.
