描述

返回两个经纬度点之间的最小距离（以米为单位）。使用球形地球和从 SRID 定义的椭球体派生的半径。比 ST_DistanceSpheroid 快，但精度较低。1.5 之前的 PostGIS 版本仅针对点实现。

可用性：1.5 - 引入了对除点以外的其他几何类型的支持。早期版本仅适用于点。

更改：2.2.0 在早期版本中，这曾经被称为 ST_Distance_Sphere

示例

SELECT round(CAST(ST_DistanceSphere(ST_Centroid(geom), ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-118 38)',4326)) As numeric),2) As dist_meters,
round(CAST(ST_Distance(ST_Transform(ST_Centroid(geom),32611),
		ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-118 38)', 4326),32611)) As numeric),2) As dist_utm11_meters,
round(CAST(ST_Distance(ST_Centroid(geom), ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-118 38)', 4326)) As numeric),5) As dist_degrees,
round(CAST(ST_Distance(ST_Transform(geom,32611),
		ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-118 38)', 4326),32611)) As numeric),2) As min_dist_line_point_meters
