Okay team.

So: here’s what I want to do.  Presently I am generating beautiful
polygons.  I am working from an assessors base map.  I have a search
function that is able to identify and pull up the individual parcel I
am interested in looking at.  What I now want to do is add all other
parcels within that same viewing window.

Originally, I had thought that I would create a separate SQL query
based on distance – say select all OGC_GEOM polygons that have their
centerpoint within 1000 feet of the centerpoint of the parcel I am
currently working with.

Unfortunately, I can’t do that – because mySQL doesn’t have the
distance spatial function implemented anywhere but in their help
files.  How have other people overcome this obstacle?

I have considered a second alternative, which is to hard-code the
parcels adjacent to each parcel in a separate field.  So parcel 1
would have 2,3,4,5,6 in its adjacent_parcels field and I’d call that
field and then create a select query for polygons with 2,3,4,5,6 in
the where clause.  This would work, however it doesn’t allow for an
adaptable system as new parcels are added, whereas a query based on a
distance function would.

I bet this problem has been encountered before: is there any method
within the API that can help?

I would be absolutely delighted to receive any and all suggestions.

The most recent version of my map is as follows:

Try account 1101850 or an address at 1025 Burwell to see what it does.

Thanks for your thoughts everybody!
