MySQL Great Circle Distance (Haversine formula)

Question

I\'ve got a working PHP script that gets Longitude and Latitude values and then inputs them into a MySQL query. I\'d like to make it solely MySQL. Here\'s my current PHP Cod

Answer 1

I have written a procedure that can calculate the same, but you have to enter the latitude and longitude in the respective table.

drop procedure if exists select_lattitude_longitude;

delimiter //

create procedure select_lattitude_longitude(In CityName1 varchar(20) , In CityName2 varchar(20))

begin

    declare origin_lat float(10,2);
    declare origin_long float(10,2);

    declare dest_lat float(10,2);
    declare dest_long float(10,2);

    if CityName1  Not In (select Name from City_lat_lon) OR CityName2  Not In (select Name from City_lat_lon) then 

        select 'The Name Not Exist or Not Valid Please Check the Names given by you' as Message;

    else

        select lattitude into  origin_lat from City_lat_lon where Name=CityName1;

        select longitude into  origin_long  from City_lat_lon where Name=CityName1;

        select lattitude into  dest_lat from City_lat_lon where Name=CityName2;

        select longitude into  dest_long  from City_lat_lon where Name=CityName2;

        select origin_lat as CityName1_lattitude,
               origin_long as CityName1_longitude,
               dest_lat as CityName2_lattitude,
               dest_long as CityName2_longitude;

        SELECT 3956 * 2 * ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN((origin_lat - dest_lat) * pi()/180 / 2), 2) + COS(origin_lat * pi()/180) * COS(dest_lat * pi()/180) * POWER(SIN((origin_long-dest_long) * pi()/180 / 2), 2) )) * 1.609344 as Distance_In_Kms ;

    end if;

end ;
