[Qgis-user] nearest point selection without reuse

[M.E.Dodd]

Is it possible to find the nearest point in one table compared to points in another table BUT without using the same point in the second table more than once.
I have one table of points and want to find the nearest point in another table, the trouble is that some points in the second table are used many times and others are not used at all even though they are only slightly further away.  There are different numbers of points in each table, each table has hundreds or thousands of points.  The multiple use of points in the second table like this might be biasing the analysis.
