I'm finding all the cities within a certian distance using the DISTANCE
function.
What is the unit of measurement for the distance?
Can it be set to miles or feet?
I checked the documentation but didn't find anything.
geo=# SELECT name FROM city_locations WHERE distance (the_geom,
'POINT( -88.0501 41.8616 )' ) < 0.1;
name
