spatial

Spatial Extensions is a set of data types and functions, helps easily (by not using geometrical mathematics) work with points in the map, polygons and distances and other units can be found in geographical maps. According to documentation [1] Spatial Extensions can be used as well in MyISAM as in InnoDB with a one note – InnoDB does not support spatial indexes. I have not checked if something is changed in the recent versions of MySql.
