description

Syntax

DOUBLE ST_Distance_Sphere(DOUBLE x_lng, DOUBLE x_lat, DOUBLE y_lng, DOUBLE y_lat)

Calculate the spherical distance between two points of the earth in meters. The incoming parameters are the longitude of point X, the latitude of point X, the longitude of point Y and the latitude of point Y.

x_lng and y_lng are Longitude values, must be in the range [-180, 180]. x_lat and y_lat are Latitude values, must be in the range [-90, 90].
