Hi,


I don't understand why you see different units

First one does not return 1.33 but 1.33 10-5 so that is 0.0000133, the other is 
0.0036239...

Thanks Jorge but it isn't the matter.

I'd know why postgis have a different way to calculate the distance

with the same sql query.

Hi Franco,

You can use the usual control statements IF THEN ELSE [1] to make it
exactly like you want.
