简单的一个;)

SELECT * FROM `WAYPOINTS` W ORDER BY
ABS(ABS(W.`LATITUDE`-53.63) +
ABS(W.`LONGITUDE`-9.9)) ASC LIMIT 30;

把坐标换成你需要的坐标。这些值必须存储为double类型。这是一个工作中的MySQL 5。x的例子。

干杯

查找离我最近的用户:

距离(米)

根据文森特提的公式

i有用户表:

+----+-----------------------+---------+--------------+---------------+
| id | email                 | name    | location_lat | location_long |
+----+-----------------------+---------+--------------+---------------+
| 13 | xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.com | Isaac   | 17.2675625   | -97.6802361   |
| 14 | xxxx@xxxxxxx.com.mx   | Monse   | 19.392702    | -99.172596    |
+----+-----------------------+---------+--------------+---------------+

sql:

-- my location:  lat   19.391124   -99.165660
SELECT 
(ATAN(
    SQRT(
        POW(COS(RADIANS(users.location_lat)) * SIN(RADIANS(users.location_long) - RADIANS(-99.165660)), 2) +
        POW(COS(RADIANS(19.391124)) * SIN(RADIANS(users.location_lat)) - 
       SIN(RADIANS(19.391124)) * cos(RADIANS(users.location_lat)) * cos(RADIANS(users.location_long) - RADIANS(-99.165660)), 2)
    )
    ,
    SIN(RADIANS(19.391124)) * 
    SIN(RADIANS(users.location_lat)) + 
    COS(RADIANS(19.391124)) * 
    COS(RADIANS(users.location_lat)) * 
    COS(RADIANS(users.location_long) - RADIANS(-99.165660))
 ) * 6371000) as distance,
users.id
FROM users
ORDER BY distance ASC

地球半径:6371000(单位:米)

你要找的是哈弗辛公式。看这里。

还有其他的，但这是最常被引用的。

如果您正在寻找更健壮的东西，则可能需要考虑数据库的GIS功能。它们能够做一些很酷的事情，比如告诉你一个点(城市)是否出现在给定的多边形(区域、国家、大陆)中。

MS SQL版本在这里:

        DECLARE @SLAT AS FLOAT
        DECLARE @SLON AS FLOAT

        SET @SLAT = 38.150785
        SET @SLON = 27.360249

        SELECT TOP 10 [LATITUDE], [LONGITUDE], SQRT(
            POWER(69.1 * ([LATITUDE] - @SLAT), 2) +
            POWER(69.1 * (@SLON - [LONGITUDE]) * COS([LATITUDE] / 57.3), 2)) AS distance
        FROM [TABLE] ORDER BY 3

根据文章Geo-Distance-Search-with-MySQL检查以下代码:

例如:找到半径10英里内离我目前位置最近的10家酒店。

#Please notice that (lat,lng) values mustn't be negatives to perform all calculations

set @my_lat=34.6087674878572;

) as distance
FROM hotel as dest
having distance < @dist
ORDER BY distance limit 10;

#Also notice that distance are expressed in terms of radius.
