Hello guys.I try to somehow copy what dwain.c did in his query. I was just wondering if there's a possibility that the orig lat and long would be the same as the destination lat and long. Like the airport they flew from would also be their destination.
I have my code as this: I just wanted to ask if the code for getting the @StartLat, @StartLong, @EndLat, and @EndLong would work?
DECLARE @StartLat DECIMAL(8, 5)
, @EndLat DECIMAL(8, 5)
, @StartLong DECIMAL(8, 5)
, @EndLong DECIMAL(8, 5)
, @LatDiff DECIMAL(8, 5)
, @LongDiffDECIMAL(8, 5);
SELECT TOP(1) @StartLat = Latitude, @StartLong = Longitude
FROMdbo.Log_Details
ORDER BY Latitude, Longitude;
SELECT TOP(1) @EndLat = Latitude, @EndLong = Longitude
FROMdbo.Log_Details;
ORDER BY Latitude DESC, Longitude DESC;
SELECT @LatDiff= ABS(@StartLat - @EndLat), @LongDiff= ABS(@StartLong - @EndLong);
SELECT Log_Detail_ID, Latitude, Longitude, Airport_Latitude, Airport_Longitude, Distance
FROMdbo.Log_Details
CROSS APPLY(SELECT TOP(1) *, Distance = Airport_Geography.STDistance(GEOGRAPHY::Point(Latitude, Longitude, 4326))
FROMdbo.Airports WHERE Airport_Latitude BETWEEN Latitude - @LatDiff AND Latitude + @LatDiff
AND Airport_Longitude BETWEEN Longitude - @LongDiff AND Longitude + @LongDiff
ORDER BY Airport_Geography.STDistance(GEOGRAPHY::Point(Latitude, Longitude, 4326))) AS a;
Thank you.
I'm thinking that it will not. You need a flight time in your log table and then you could use that.
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
