  • System and method for geo-location data type searching in an on demand environment
    Patent number: 9418077
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for retrieving, from a database containing a list of records, a subset of the list of records located within a user defined distance from a target point, each record in the list of records having a compound geo-location data type including a first data field and a second data field. The method involves generating a circle around the target point; identifying records having a geo-location within the circle; including the identified records in a result set; and presenting the result set to a user on a display screen. The method further includes treating the first data field and the second data field as a single data element.
