I get a list of suburbs within a specified distance from a single location using Queries A.
I’m trying to adapt Queries A to get a list of suburbs surrounding location1, then get list of suburbs surrounding location2 and so on (I'll call this Queries B). Essentially Queries B is doing the same as Queries A, but repeating it for each separate location. My question- how can I do this using MySQL only. Suggestions on how to do this are much appreciated.
Here is a sample of the data I am working with. SqlFiddle here
CREATE TABLE `geoname` (
`geonameid` INT(11) NOT NULL,
`asciiname` VARCHAR(200) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci',
`country` VARCHAR(2) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci',
`latitude` DECIMAL(10,7) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`longitude` DECIMAL(10,7) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`fcode` VARCHAR(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci',
`population` INT(11) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`area` INT(11) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`geonameid`),
INDEX `asciiname` (`asciiname`),
INDEX `country` (`country`),
INDEX `latitude` (`latitude`),
INDEX `longitude` (`longitude`),
INDEX `fcode` (`fcode`),
INDEX `population` (`population`),
INDEX `area` (`area`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_unicode_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB
;
INSERT INTO geoname(geonameid, asciiname, country, latitude, longitude, fcode, population, area) VALUES

What I tried
Queries A- get suburbs surrounding a single point of interest
SELECT @lat := latitude, @lng :=longitude FROM geoname WHERE asciiname = 'Tamworth' and country='AU' and population>0 and fcode='PPL';
SELECT
name as suburb, 'Tamworth' as point_of_interest, country,
(
(
ACOS(SIN(@lat * PI() / 180) * SIN(latitude * PI() / 180) + COS(@lat * PI() / 180) * COS(latitude * PI() / 180) * COS((
@lng - longitude
) * PI() / 180)) * 180 / PI()
) * 60 * 1.851999999962112
) AS distance
FROM geoname
WHERE fcode='PPLX' OR fcode='PPPL'
HAVING distance <= '60'
ORDER BY distance ASC;
RESULTS
The query above returns one location for the point of interest.
+---------------------------------+
| @lat | @lng |
+---------------------------------+
| 52.6339900 | -1.6958700 |
+---------------------------------+
and a list of suburbs surrounding Tamworth.
| point_of_interest | suburb | country | distance |
|-------------------|----------------------|---------|--------------------|
| Tamworth | East Tamworth | AU | 0.9548077598752538 |
| Tamworth | North Tamworth | AU | 1.4707125875055387 |
| Tamworth | West Tamworth | AU | 1.915025922482298 |
I tried to create Queries B using MySQL user variables, GROUP_CONCAT()
and FIND_IN_SET()
. The idea was that I could cycle through the values a bit like using an array. I can post my last attempt if you wish, but I am not even close to a solution (not for lack of trying).
UPDATE: Here is one of my last attempts.
SELECT @lat := GROUP_CONCAT(latitude), @lng :=GROUP_CONCAT(longitude), @city :=GROUP_CONCAT(asciiname), @area :=GROUP_CONCAT(area) FROM geoname WHERE (asciiname = 'Tamworth' or asciiname = 'Birmingham' or asciiname = 'Roanoke') and population>0 and fcode='PPL';
SELECT
FIND_IN_SET(asciiname, @city) as point_of_interest, asciiname as suburb, country,
(
(
ACOS(SIN(FIND_IN_SET(latitude, @lat) * PI() / 180) * SIN(latitude * PI() / 180) + COS(FIND_IN_SET(latitude, @lat) * PI() / 180) * COS(latitude * PI() / 180) * COS((
FIND_IN_SET(longitude, @lng) - longitude
) * PI() / 180)) * 180 / PI()
) * 60 * 1.851999999962112
) AS distance
FROM geoname
HAVING distance <= FIND_IN_SET(distance, @area)
ORDER BY distance ASC;
Desired Results for Queries B. For 3 points of interest-Tamworth, Birmingham and Roanoke- this is what I would expect to see.

Suggestions on how to do this using MySQL are greatly appreciated.
