How to find nearest location using latitude and longitude from SQL database?

To find the nearby location , you can use the Geocoder Class.Since you have the Geopoints(latitude and longitude), Reverse geocoding can be used. Reverse Geocoding is the process of transforming a (latitude, longitude) coordinate into a (partial) address. Check out this for more information.

SELECT id, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(37) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-122) ) + sin( radians(37) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM markers HAVING distance < 25 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20;

Finding locations nearby with MySQL

Here's the SQL statement that will find the closest 20 locations that are within a radius of 25 miles to the 37, -122 coordinate. It calculates the distance based on the latitude/longitude of that row and the target latitude/longitude, and then asks for only rows where the distance value is less than 25, orders the whole query by distance, and limits it to 20 results. To search by kilometers instead of miles, replace 3959 with 6371.

Table Structure :

id,name,address,lat,lng

NOTE - Here latitude = 37 & longitude = -122. So you just pass your own.

SELECT id, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(37) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * 
cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-122) ) + sin( radians(37) ) * 
sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM your_table_name HAVING
distance < 25 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20;

You can find details here.

SELECT latitude, longitude, SQRT(
    POW(69.1 * (latitude - [startlat]), 2) +
    POW(69.1 * ([startlng] - longitude) * COS(latitude / 57.3), 2)) AS distance
FROM TableName HAVING distance < 25 ORDER BY distance;

where [starlat] and [startlng] is the position where to start measuring the distance and 25 is the distance in kms.

It is advised to make stored procedure to use the query because it would be checking a lots of rows to find the result.
