请你能解释我earth_box函数的这种行为......或者我做错了什么?Postgresql earthdistance - 与半径的earth_box

数据使用

40.749276, -73.985643 = Empire State Building - is in my table 
40.689266, -74.044512 = Statue of Liberty - is my current position in select - 8324m far from Empire State Building 

我的表从帝国大厦的雕像

=> select id, latitude, longitude, title from requests; 
id | latitude | longitude |   title 
----+-----------+------------+----------------------- 
    1 | 40.749276 | -73.985643 | Empire State Building 

距离自由女神

=> SELECT id, latitude, longitude, title, earth_distance(ll_to_earth(40.689266, -74.044512), ll_to_earth(latitude, longitude)) as distance_from_current_location FROM requests ORDER BY distance_from_current_location ASC; 
id | latitude | longitude |   title   | distance_from_current_location 
----+-----------+------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------- 
    1 | 40.749276 | -73.985643 | Empire State Building |    8324.42998846164 

我现在的位置是Libery雕像比8000米更远离帝国州Buildng,但 选择返回行机智h id 1即使半径仅为5558m!你能解释我这种行为或者什么是错的?

=> SELECT id,latitude,longitude,title FROM requests WHERE earth_box(ll_to_earth(40.689266, -74.044512), 5558) @> ll_to_earth(requests.latitude, requests.longitude); 
id | latitude | longitude |   title 
----+-----------+------------+----------------------- 
    1 | 40.749276 | -73.985643 | Empire State Building 

版本的扩展和PostgreSQL

=> \dx 
            List of installed extensions

这里的问题是,earth_box得到法定英里。 8324.42998846164米接近5.172560986623845法定英里 Unit Converter

解决办法:半径转换为法定英里单位

earth_box(ll_to_earth(40.689266, -74.044512), 5558/1.609) //doesn't return results

earth_box(ll_to_earth(40.689266, -74.044512), 9000/1.609) //does.
