<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In the sequence of my last email with the
same subject this is the query I tried (only for the localities layer)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>select min(distance(u.curr_location,
(select geometry from toponimia where name='Se' limit 1))) as dist <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>from units as u <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>where u.id=XXXXXXXX;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>the results aren’t quite the expected
as:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>unit 11111111 is almost over the point with
the name ‘Se’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>unit 80000135 is the second on the list<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>unit 99999999 is the farthest….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>These are the result that I got:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>80000135 = 3665.52978684708<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>11111111 = 3666.92134092059<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>99999999 = 3665.79245878804<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To my surprise unit 11111111’s
distance is the greatest….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What is distance() returning anyway?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Btw: both tables have srid=4326<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Any help would be greatly appreciated since
I really have to finish this task (please see last email with the same subject)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
