[postgis-users] ST_distance in meters

[lomarod]

Hi,

I have a table "tableA" with the column "colB" and "colC" type geometry.

tableA.colB = geometryfromtext('POINT('-19.922488 -43.9367')',4326)
tableA.colC = geometryfromtext('POINT('-19.926357 -43.934223')',4326)

Using google earth or google maps, a have the distance between this two
points in 500 meters.

When I execute the query
select st_distance(tableA.colB, tableA.colC) from tableA my result is
0,004593984...

How can I have the same result as google maps ?
What am I doing wrong ?
