<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I have two tables each containing point geometries of type ‘geometry’. I need to find out the list of points from the two table within ‘x’ miles vicinity. So, I am trying to do something like<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">select pointA, point B <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FROM tableA a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">INNER JOIN tableB b on ST_DWithin(a.shape::geography, b.shape::geography, 1609)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While this works without issues in pgAdmin, I get the following error when executing it via JDBC.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: type "geography" does not exist<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have postgis-jdbc-2.2.1.jar and postgresql-42.2.4.jar in my classpath and using “org.postgis.DriverWrapper” driver class. And my connection string is in the format jdbc:postgresql_postGIS://<host>:<port>/<db>?currentSchema=<schema><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, I can have another column of type ‘geography’ created in tableA and tableB and execute the query without having to do the runtime type conversion. But I am trying to find out if I can avoid it by registering ‘geography’ as a
valid type with Postgres / PostGIS driver.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your insights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#BFBFBF">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
