At a glance, I suspect your klsdistancetocandidatem is not referencing what you 
think it is as that's a variable in the trigger  and not a column alias so all 
results within the 0.01 would have the same value so your result would be 
arbitrary.

Try:

 
SELECT s.id, ST_DistanceSphere(s.wkb_geometry, NEW.wkb_geometry) AS kdistsp 
INTO klsid, klsdistancetocandidatem FROM kddb.fcp_4258_kls_addr s WHERE 
ST_DWithin(s.wkb_geometry, NEW.wkb_geometry, 0.01) ORDER BY kdistsp ASC LIMIT 1;

I'm not sure I understood you correctly, but it looks like it works on my 
postgres-postgis installation. See the attached file.

Hello List,
 
I observed a strange behavior when I implemented a trigger function.
 
Given: Table “fcp_4258_kls_addr” with address points, Table 
“fcp_4258_candidates” with some other points.
Objective:  find closest point in fcp_4258_kls_addr to a point in 
fcp_4258_candidates (from all found address points in a radius of 0.01 degrees 
around the candidate).
 
After playing around with the statements I came up with this:
 
select s.id, ST_DistanceSphere(ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(6.951468, 50.93651),4258), 
s.wkb_geometry) as klsdistancetocandidatem FROM kddb.fcp_4258_kls_addr s WHERE 
ST_DWithin(s.wkb_geometry, ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(6.951468, 50.93651),4258), 0.01) 
ORDER BY klsdistancetocandidatem ASC LIMIT 1;
 
I hope that the function does what I want: First select all addresses within 
0.01 degrees distance to the point 6.951468, 50.93651 and then calculate the 
distance to all of them. Order by distance in ascending order and select the 
first which should be the closest to the questioned candidate. 
 
This works fine when I run the statement manually in the console:
 
    id    | geo_kls_dist2candidate_m
----------+--------------------------
17553866 |               6.85436569
 
 
My goal was to save the closest address point (id) and the distance to the 
table as soon as the candidate table is updated. The relevant line in the 
trigger function for the trigger “BEFORE UPDATE ON candidates FOR EACH ROW 
EXECUTE PROCEDURE” looks like this:
 
SELECT s.id, ST_DistanceSphere(s.wkb_geometry, NEW.wkb_geometry) INTO klsid, 
klsdistancetocandidatem FROM kddb.fcp_4258_kls_addr s WHERE 
ST_DWithin(s.wkb_geometry, NEW.wkb_geometry, 0.01) ORDER BY 
klsdistancetocandidatem ASC LIMIT 1;
NEW.geo_kls_id = klsid;
NEW.geo_kls_distance2candidate_m = klsdistancetocandidatem;
 
I assumed that the trigger does the same as the select statement but I get a 
different result for a candidate. The address point referenced in the 
candidates table for the candidate with the coordinates 6.951468, 50.93651 is 
497 meters away and not 6.8 meters. 
 
Some findings:
 
• The id returned is within 0.01 degree radius for the candidate
• The address point with the given id has correctly referenced distance to the 
candidate (but is not the closest)
• The address point returned does neither belong to the preceding candidate 
point nor to the successive candidate (when sorted by primary key)
• The update trigger is fired and the procedure is executed (Tested with 
various update statements)
 
The wkb_geometry doesn’t change with the update. I have no idea why the address 
points are different. 
 
Can anybody help?
 
Michael
