Hello!
Anyone’s got good tips on using Firebird with GIS data types such as Latitude, Longitude, etc.?
Does anything like that exist?
Yes, I know about PostGIS, but I find PostgreSQL very unwieldy. Also, I can’t seem to uninstall it anymore because I can’t remember the password and I have no idea how to reset it.,
I hate it so much! lol
Any clue about FB?
Thanks
Hello Andrea,
in 2013 we had an ADUG presentation on Geo-locations and distances by Glenn Stephens. It was on MS SQL Server. But I converted his MS SQL stored procedures to a UDF library for Firebird and InterBase. You can find the source code here:

Ooooohhh nice… 
Can I share this in the FB-Support group?
I think people there don’t know about this!
For sure you can, Andrea.
After all it is open source with a reference to the article of Andy McGovern here.
Salut,
Mathias
