The feature mentioned here was added in MapInfo 7.0. If you are using a
version of MapInfo prior to this (but then who does ? ;-)), you'll have to
do it this way around in stead:

- Make a copy of your table
- Open the copy, let's assume it's called MYCOPY
- Now open the MapBasic window.
- Enter the following text and hit the ENTER button afterwards:
        Update MYCOPY Set Obj = Buffer(OBJ, 12, 0.5, "mi")
- Now you have changed all your points into regions created using the buffer
function. And now you are ready to perform your SQL query.

Another way would be to create the buffers virtually in the SQL query like
this:

Select * From REGIONS
        Where OBJ Intersects Any (Select Buffer(OBJ, 12, 0.5, "mi") From
POINTS)

Using this methode will not actually convert the points to region but only
create virtual buffers for the SQL query.
