>From your initial approach, the following should work. I don't use spheroid projections, so this was only tested with st_distance. I fudged in the distance_spheroid. You may also want to replace the st_centroid function with your field "geometry_centroid". select max(myDistance) FROM ( SELE

Sorry, I guessST_Max_Distance(geometry g1, geometry g2) is just for linestrings in current release but in the doc for 1.4 it is presented with geometry1 and geometry2 /Nicklas 2009-02-19 My Pid wrote: Hello again, > >I found the generate_series function (yes i am a newbie!) and I can use it in
