In both cases you will have to write your own code. MySQL, so far, only
can store Spatial data and do very simple (still, r-tree optimized) GIS
queries (like: all objects inside rect).

Hi.
This may be a daft question, so forgive me:
I am just starting out with the Spatial extensions and I am wondering
how I can use it to determine the distances between any 2 landmarks that
have been entered as POINTs in the database. The POINTs are entered with
longitude and lattitude coordinates.
I have 2 problems:
1) The Distance nor the Buffer functions have not been implemented.
2) How can I use MySQL to help me convert from lat / long to distances
in miles (or KM)?
Thanks.
Terry.
