[postgis-devel] Non-Join Join

[Obe, Regina]

How about

SELECT A.gid, A.geom, A.letter
FROM (SELECT * FROM lettertable WHERE letter = 'A') A 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM lettertable WHERE letter = 'B') B 
	ON ST_DWithin(A.the_geom, B.the_geom, 1000)
WHERE B.gid IS NULL;

Brain freeze:

Give a table

gid integer
geom geometry
letter varchar

where letter is a single letter,

how to efficiently find all the instances of the letter 'A' that are
more than 1000m from any letter 'B'.
