15:23:20 magic_hat: hey all. i have a table that has geometries in SRID 4326. I'm using ST_distance to measure between points, but I'd like the results in miles. how do I get there?
17:06:55 jlivni: st_distance_spheroid would be one quick way ( meters )
17:07:13 jlivni: magic_hat: or you could transform your projections to something that makes more sense for your local area ( not sure where your points are )
17:08:02 jlivni: for example, here in California, i might do st_distance( st_transform( geom,26910 ),st_transform( othergeom,26910 ) )
19:16:58 KBlade: need some guide on mapserver postgis
19:17:11 KBlade: i have this column wkb_geometry
19:17:26 KBlade: and ogc_fid
19:17:39 KBlade: how do I specify the DATA
