Your feeling is 50% accurate. If you want to use subselect, throw "<10"
into this subselect, because you will have performance loss.
You can also use whole function in where clause and order by:
select
reference_number as foo,
'(10,10)'::point <-> point(x,y) as distance
from imagemap
where
index_number = '2322' and
block_number = '140'
where '(10,10)'::point <-> point(x,y)<10
order by '(10,10)'::point <-> point(x,y)
limit 1;
BTW Did you try to use polygons in your image maps, or you have rather
point oriented web page than area oriented?
