Both st_distance_sphere(geometry,geometry) and distance_sphere(geometry, geometry) currently exist in PostGIS.

They both call the same C function LWGEOM_distance_sphere.

postgis=# \df+ st_distance_sphere
                                                        List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Owner | Language | Source code | Description
--------+--------------------+------------------+---------------------+----------+----------+------------------------+-------------
public | st_distance_sphere | double precision | geometry, geometry | postgres | c | LWGEOM_distance_sphere |
(1 row)

postgis=# \df+ distance_sphere
                                                      List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Owner | Language | Source code | Description
--------+-----------------+------------------+---------------------+----------+----------+------------------------+-------------
public | distance_sphere | double precision | geometry, geometry | postgres | c | LWGEOM_distance_sphere |
(1 row)

The distance_sphere(geometry, geometry) has been deprecated, so use the st_ version.

Cheers,
Kevin

thanks for your reply

through the miracle of remote IRC, I get some chars translated on paste, so no, I did not have a double p

however, no ST_ fixed it.. I was reading the docs, they plainly say ST_distance_sphere()
How to find this - actual calls vs alleged calls? Hunt in the SQL ?

will look
