geom is geometry(Point,4326) (planar degrees); add geog = geom::geography (STORED generated) + GiST index so ST_Distance/ST_DWithin/KNN work in real metres for nearest-vehicle and radius queries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

-- `geom` is geometry(Point,4326) — great for display, but distance on it is in
|
|
-- planar degrees. For real-world routing ("nearest vehicle", radius search) we want
|
|
-- geography, whose ST_Distance / ST_DWithin work in metres on the spheroid.
|
|
--
|
|
-- `geog` is a STORED generated column = geom::geography (the cast is IMMUTABLE), so
|
|
-- it tracks geom automatically (incl. after geocode passes). GiST index supports
|
|
-- ST_DWithin(geog, vehicle::geography, metres) and KNN nearest-neighbour ordering.
|
|
-- Idempotent.
