FUNCTION  fGetNearestSpecObjIdEq

Returns the specObjId of nearest sciencePrimary spectrum within @r arcmins of ra, dec


ra, dec are in degrees, r is in arc minutes.
This scalar function is used for matchups of external catalogs.
It calls fGetNearestSpecObjEq(@ra,@dec,@r), and selects the specObjId (a bigint).
This can be called by a single SELECT from an uploaded (ra,dec) table.
An example:

SELECT id, ra,dec, dbo.fGetNearestSpecObjIdEq(ra,dec,3.0) as specObjId
FROM #upload
WHERE dbo.fGetNearestSpecObjIdEq(ra,dec,3.0) IS NOT NULL
