How to get all the points that the distance between them is less than (some distance) in spatialite

I am working with "SpatiaLite" and i have a table with a geometric column. this column is a BLOB with POINTS. for example to insert a point i do:

"INSERT INTO exampletable(geom) VALUES(GeomFromText('POINT(-101.1 46.6)', 4326))"

I want to get all points in this table that the distance between them is less than some distance (3000m for example).

I have in this table 1800 row with different points.

Thx

You can use the same table twice in your query. And the spatial index is very useful here.

Try with this (it's quite self-explaining):

SELECT a.* FROM point_table AS a, point_table AS b WHERE
    distance(a.geometry, b.geometry) < 3000 AND a.ROWID != b.ROWID AND
    b.ROWID IN (SELECT ROWID FROM SpatialIndex WHERE
    (f_table_name = "point_table" AND search_frame = Buffer(a.geometry, 3000)))
