You are using EPSG:3044, correct? <a href="http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3044/">http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3044/</a><div><br></div><div><a href="http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3044/"></a>This projection has units of metres. ST_DWithin and related functions use the same units of length as defined in the projection, which in this case is metres, not degrees. You may need to elaborate with an example.</div>

Well, it sitll does not solve my problem. As I said I am using geometry(planar) with SRID 3044, where units are degrees, therefore when using st_dwithin will still take input in degrees.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/3/7 Paragon Corporation <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lr@pcorp.us" target="_blank">lr@pcorp.us</a>></span><br>
