I am trying to execute the following command:

SELECT R.*, distance(L1.lat, L1.lon, L2.lat, L2.lon) AS Distance
FROM Restaurants R, Locations L1, Locations L2, FoodTypeRestaurantIDX FTR
WHERE R.Zipcode=L1.Zipcode AND L2.Zipcode = '93705' AND R.Delivery=true AND
R.RestaurantID=FTR.RestaurantID AND FTR.FoodTypeID=1 AND distance(L1.lat,
L1.lon, L2.lat, L2.lon) <= 60
LIMIT 100  OFFSET 0


I would rather execute this command: (but i get the error "Attribute
'distance' not found")

SELECT R.*, distance(L1.lat, L1.lon, L2.lat, L2.lon) AS Distance
FROM Restaurants R, Locations L1, Locations L2, FoodTypeRestaurantIDX FTR
WHERE R.Zipcode=L1.Zipcode AND L2.Zipcode = '93705' AND R.Delivery=true AND
R.RestaurantID=FTR.RestaurantID AND FTR.FoodTypeID=1 AND distance <= 60
LIMIT 100  OFFSET 0


Having that second distance function in the "WHERE" section of my sql
statement is costing me at least 10-20 seconds of execution time.  I am
looking for a solution that will speed this up. Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.
