I have a problem using geography to calculate the distance in miles using the format of my table.
The latitude and longitude of both places are located nearby:
id | A_Latitude | A_Longitude | B_Latitude | B_Longitude
I am trying to get a point Aalong with a point Band return the distance between Aand Bin miles.
I tried several things, including something similar to:
DECLARE @orig geography
DECLARE @end geography
SELECT
@orig = geography::Point(A_LATITUDE, A_LONGITUDE, 4326)
,@end = geography::Point(B_LATITUDE, B_LONGITUDE, 4326)
FROM table1
SELECT
ROUND(@END.STDistance(@ORIG)/1609.344,2) AS MILES
,@END.STDistance(@ORIG) AS METERS
,table1.*
FROM table1;
Where I get a repeating value for miles and meters across all lines. Can anyone suggest how I should structure this query to get what I'm looking for?
EDIT: Thanks SQL Surfer!
WITH X AS
(SELECT
geography::Point(A_LATITUDE, A_LONGITUDE, 4326) A
,geography::Point(B_LATITUDE, B_LONGITUDE, 4326) B
,ID
FROM TABLE1)
SELECT
ROUND(X.B.STDistance(X.A)/1609.344,2) AS MILES
,X.B.STDistance(X.A) AS METERS
,T.*
FROM TABLE1 T
LEFT JOIN X ON T.ID = X.ID
