Hy Jann,

Thanks for your feedback, yes its much better to let the DB do the
processing. Is it possible to see the sql code you used for the stores
procedure?

I need to display results like this for a real estate agents database:

Realtor A - Phone - Zipcode - Distance
Realtor B - Phone - Zipcode - Distance
Realtor C - Phone - Zipcode - Distance

The realtors closest to the search zipcode show up at top, the ones farthest
at bottom. So the results are sorted by distance.

Thanks,
Pardeep.
