Haversine formula returns null in Query - mysql

SELECT
id,
( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(51.509980) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-0.133700 ) ) + sin( radians(51.509980) ) * sin(radians(lat)) ) ) AS distance
FROM tbl_event
HAVING distance < 5
ORDER BY distance
Here -0.133700 is creating problem, other minus values like -122 etc. are working fine with this.
Please help if anyone is aware of this issue.

It returns null because acos function get an argument greater than 1 or lower than -1. Try this :
Select id, 3959 * acos(if(d>1, 1, if(d<-1, -1, d))) as distance
From (SELECT id,
cos( radians(51.509980) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-0.133700 ) ) + sin( radians(51.509980) ) * sin(radians(lat)) AS d
FROM tbl_event ) t1
HAVING distance < 5
ORDER BY distance

Virtual column unknown when comparing lat lng

I am attempting to return only rows where the latitude and longitude being passed into the query, when compared to the latitude and longitude stored in the database, is a certain amount of miles apart.
The query is as follows:
SELECT
c.google_theatre_id
AS cinema_id,
c.name
AS cinema_name,
( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('50.4521013') ) *
cos( radians( latitude ) ) *
cos( radians( longitude ) -
radians('-3.5247389') ) +
sin( radians('50.4521013') ) *
sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) )
AS distance
FROM
google_cinemas c, app_users u
WHERE
distance < u.range
AND
u.id = 126
ORDER BY
distance
The query is designed to get the distance and then compare it to a column (range) in the app_users table.
When running the query, I'm getting an error of distance being an unknown column.
As this is a virtual column, is there a different way of comparing?
Thanks :)
you need to use HAVING instead of WHERE.. think of it this way WHERE is when you make an order at a restraunt and HAVING is picking stuff off of the plate when it comes to your table... you cannot reference an alias before the plate comes to your table only after it has been built
SELECT
c.google_theatre_id AS cinema_id,
c.name AS cinema_name,
( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('50.4521013') ) *
cos( radians( latitude ) ) *
cos( radians( longitude ) -
radians('-3.5247389') ) +
sin( radians('50.4521013') ) *
sin( radians( latitude ) ) )
) AS distance
FROM google_cinemas c, app_users u
WHERE u.id = 126
HAVING distance < u.range
ORDER BY distance
alternatively you can use it as a sub query which could be faster since HAVING re-evaluates the entire query.
SELECT *
FROM
( SELECT
c.google_theatre_id AS cinema_id,
c.name AS cinema_name,
( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('50.4521013') ) *
cos( radians( latitude ) ) *
cos( radians( longitude ) -
radians('-3.5247389') ) +
sin( radians('50.4521013') ) *
sin( radians( latitude ) ) )
) AS distance,
u.range
FROM google_cinemas c, app_users u
WHERE u.id = 126
ORDER BY distance
)t
WHERE distance < range

How to hide an alias column in mysql EDITED

I know this is a replica of some question asked already, but i need some suggestion.
I know basics of MySQL, i have a query to calculate distance between latitude and longitude and based on minimum distance i am returning id's.
now i don't want the distance column as result of my query. How to do it.
Here is my query.
select cl.wp_id,( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(12.91841) ) * cos( radians( y(gproperty) ) ) *
cos( radians( x(gproperty)) - radians(77.58631) ) + sin( radians(12.91841) ) *
sin( radians(y(gproperty) ) ) ) ) AS distance
from db1.geofeature gf, db2.c_loc cl where gf.o_type = 10 and cl.c_info_id = 23
and gf.o_id = cl.wp_id
having distance < 10 order by distance limit 10;
i want only my cl.wp to be displayed as result. How to do that.?
EDIT
now i have 3 tables how to join them.?
select dlo.id,( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(12.9) ) * cos( radians( y(gproperty) ) ) * cos( radians( x(gproperty)) - radians(77.5) ) +sin( radians(12.9) ) * sin( radians(y(gproperty) ) ) ) ) AS distance from db1.gfeature dgf, db2.loc dlo, db2.cust dcu where gf.o_type = 6 and dcu.id = 240 and dgf.o_id = dlo.p_id having distance < 20 order by distance limit 10;
Any suggestions are welcome.
You would want to use a subquery:
select wp_id
from (select cl.wp_id,( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(12.91841) ) * cos( radians( y(gproperty) ) ) *
cos( radians( x(gproperty)) - radians(77.58631) ) + sin( radians(12.91841) ) *
sin( radians(y(gproperty) ) ) ) ) AS distance
from db1.geofeature gf join
db2.c_loc cl
on gf.o_type = 256 and cl.c_info_id = 146 and gf.o_id = cl.wp_id
) t
where distance < 10
order by distance
limit 10;
Notice that I also fixed the join syntax to use explicit joins.

Merging 2 sql queries into a single one

I have two sql queries which when run independent produces the correct results
Query 1
SELECT id,
(6371 * acos( cos( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * cos( radians( latitude ) ) * cos( radians( longitude ) - radians(76.58620953448485) ) + sin( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) )
AS distance
FROM geodata HAVING distance < 20
ORDER BY distance
LIMIT 0 , 20;
Query 2
SELECT DISTINCT e.* FROM schools e
WHERE (
(e.type = 'preprimary')
)
AND(
e.title LIKE '%government%'
)
LIMIT 0, 10
I want to merge the first query with the second one, so that it should return all "preprimary" type schools with title like "government" located within 20KM radius and the result needs to be ordered by the distance.
How can I merge the two queries? I tried using JOINING the geodata table on the school table. But I dont know the remaining. Sorry, if this is a silly question. I am pretty new to SQL world.
SELECT DISTINCT school.* FROM
( SELECT geodata.id,
(6371 * acos( cos( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * cos( radians( latitude ) ) * cos( radians( longitude ) - radians(76.58620953448485) ) + sin( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) )
AS distance ,school.*
FROM geodata LEFT JOIN school on geodata.id=school.id
WHERE
(school.type = 'preprimary')
AND(
school.title LIKE '%government%'
)
AND school.id IS NOT NULL
HAVING distance < 20 )x
ORDER BY x.distance
LIMIT 0 , 10;
Try this:
SELECT *
From (
SELECT DISTINCT e.* ,
(6371 * acos( cos( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * cos( radians( latitude ) ) * cos( radians( longitude ) - radians(76.58620953448485) ) + sin( radians(9.977364864079215) ) * sin( radians( latitude ) ) )
) as distance
FROM schools e
LEFT JOIN geodata g ON e.id=g.id
WHERE (e.type = 'preprimary')
AND ( e.title LIKE '%government%' )
) as s
Where s.distance < 20
Order by s.distance

Assigned query variable not recognized

I have a table of items which each have latitude and longitude values to allow me to calculate distances.
I'm trying the following but it returns: Unknown column distance in where clause:
select ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('53.993252') )
* cos( radians( latitude ) )
* cos( radians( longitude )
- radians('-0.432470') )
+ sin( radians('53.993252') )
* sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) ) AS distance from items where distance < 1000
select ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('53.993252') )
* cos( radians( latitude ) )
* cos( radians( longitude )
- radians('-0.432470') )
+ sin( radians('53.993252') )
* sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) ) AS distance from items having distance < 1000
WHERE doesnt see aliases use HAVING.
You can use subquery -
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
(3959 * ACOS(COS(RADIANS('53.993252')) * COS(RADIANS(latitude)) * COS(RADIANS(longitude) - RADIANS('-0.432470')) + SIN(RADIANS('53.993252')) * SIN(RADIANS(latitude)))) AS distance
FROM items)t
WHERE distance < 1000;

MySQL: Combining two queries into one row result

First part of the query:
SET #centerLat = '48.531157';
SET #centerLng = '-123.782959';
SELECT user_id, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians( #centerLat ) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(#centerLng) ) + sin( radians( #centerLat ) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM bid_userloc HAVING distance < 25 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20
Second aspect is taking the user_id and grabbing a bunch of information from the USERS table
I'm still learning what JOIN even means and I don't quite understand how it all works best...
you may try this
SELECT user_id, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians( #centerLat ) )
* cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(#centerLng) )
+ sin( radians( #centerLat ) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) )
AS distance,columnsfromuserstable FROM bid_userloc bid
inner join users us on bid.user_id=us.user_id
HAVING distance < 25
ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20
You can try something like this:
select * from users where user_id in (select user_id from(
SELECT user_id, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians( #centerLat ) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(#centerLng) ) + sin( radians( #centerLat ) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM bid_userloc HAVING distance < 25 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20
));
Variant with JOIN -
SET #centerLat = '48.531157';
SET #centerLng = '-123.782959';
SELECT
t1.user_id, t1.lat, t1.lng,
(3959 * ACOS(COS(RADIANS(#centerLat)) * COS(RADIANS(t1.lat)) * COS(RADIANS(t1.lng) - RADIANS(#centerLng)) + SIN(RADIANS(#centerLat)) * SIN(RADIANS(t1.lat)))) distance,
t2.*
FROM
bid_userloc t1
JOIN users t2
ON t1.user_id = t2.user_id
HAVING
distance < 25
ORDER BY
distance
LIMIT
0, 20;
