[postgis-users] Need help on basic concepts, I just need really simple calculations

Hi,

I've been searching online for days. Trying to understand why SRID is
required. So I picked some random value.

Now I'm need to retrieve POINTs within a circle range, e.g a circle at
(146.0, 138.19) with radius of 100 meters:

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE ST_DWithin (users.location, st_setsrid(st_makepoint (146.0,
138.19), 2600), 100);

It's very simple, but the result seems wrong. I have a record contains
a POINT(55 43) that matches this query.

Anyone know what's wrong with it?
