MakePoint(cast(rm_rnb_history_pres.rx_lng as float), cast(rm_rnb_history_pres.rx_lat as float)) as geometry
which worked, giving me a geometry column.

I believe it's the cast to float that does the trick. Prior to using the cast, I also received a 'wrong number of arguments' eror.

Apologies for the long delay.
I tried your suggesting escaping approach:
`SELECT a.pos AS rank, b.id, b.name, b.country, b.latitude AS latitude, b.longitude AS longitude, a.distance / 1000.0 AS dist_km FROM KNN AS a LEFT JOIN airports AS b ON (b.rowid = a.fid)WHERE f_table_name = 'airports' AND ref_geometry = MakePoint(:Long || "", "" || :Lat) AND max_items = 6;
`
and it returns this error:
`wrong number of arguments to function MakePoint()`
Anything else you suggest I try?
Thanks","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",410384988,
