I am trying to see if two "circles" intersect. The data I have is two points and two radii (in meters). I am using srid 4326. My main issue (i think) is getting the radius in meters.

SELECT (ST_Buffer('POINT (-104.949517 39.740264)',300) && 
          ST_Buffer('POINT (-104.999924 35.000089)',300))

My questions are

  1. Is there a more clever way to do this?

  2. Or how do I convert the radius from dd to meters to get correct buffers?

    Calculate the distance between the 2 points. Is it smaller than the total length of the radii?

  • would that be the same as using ST_Dwithin ?

  • Is there any chance to repoen this question ? I am looking for the exact same thing and can't find how to do it, even with the duplicate question link (I am a SQL noob).
