Hi, my name it's Cesare, I'm new to GAE (3 days) and this group as well, I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to everybody :)
I guess that many many peaople had the same ploblem of mine, because of the limitations of GQL about using an inequality operator on more than 1 property and so the problem of retriving location within a given range. I barelly evaluated GeoModel (http://code.google.com/p/geomodel/) but seams to me that it's big and anyway doesn't really solve the problem of filtering the data on GQL end only. I would like to have an optionion from you guys about this very simple idea that I go this morning under the shower ... :) The idea it's basically to "round" latitude and longitude to integer (for to float few decimals) and use this value as "tag" so in this way i will be able to pull the data from the datastore just by using = or IN operator to retrive the locations in a specific area. it's an hash table but not with unique hash, on 2 different fields. In this way the dataset in not the smallest as possible, you may need to refine the seach in the code, but should be small enough. That's all, I will be happy to get ideas, improvments, suggestion and criticism as well :) Thanks, Cesare Montresor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
