Hi Folks - I'm working on a global weather database for a client and have hit an issue which I'm sure has been solved before. Unfortunately, the site search doesn't pull up anything.
Essentially, I've got two tables, one with city/county/lat/long and another with lat/long/weather data. None of the lat/longs in the two tables match up directly, so I can't do a simple join of the two tables. I need to join on closest proximity on the lat/long fields. Any suggestions? It seems to me this will be pretty expensive on CPU resources unless there's a really elegant trick uncovered.
