Haversine formula in Django using Postgres SQL
Queries a model for all rows that are within a certain radius (given in meters) of a central point.
The 'location_model' placeholder should be raplaced with the name of the table (full name) that includes a latitude and longitude column.
The latitude and longitude columns should be decimal fields.
Returns a list of row ids.
