I am using SSMS for SQL Server Express 2019.
I am trying to find a way to classify a set of geographic locations by comparing their distance to a set of reference points.
Table A includes a column of location names Name
and a column of geography points glocation
.
Table B includes the same type of columns Name
and glocation
but has an additional column that has an identifier that is either A, B, C, D or E.
I want to add 3 new columns to Table A with the Name of the closest city from table B, the classification from A-E from the closet city, and the distance in kilometres from that city.
Output Example:
Name, glocation, Closest City, Distance, Class
---------------------------------------------------
City1 0xE61... City5 362.123 E
I'm an SQL noob and would appreciate any guidance on this...
