Hi,

I'm using MySQL Cluster 7.3 and I'm usind st_distance function to calculate distance between POINT objects.

The result I get is expressed in degrees and i would like to convert it in meters. I found many forums talking about 'custom' functions and conversion parameter but I would like to use some native MySQL function to do it. Is it possible?

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks,

Noemi
