MySQL Spatial…Finally Some News
It always amazed me that more attention was not given to the spatial functionality of MySQL. Every time a newsletter arrived from the MySQL folks I looked for recent functionality updates. Finally, some mention of what’s going on was provided in a recent note about the upcoming MySQL Conference in Santa Clara in April. A session on by John Powell of eMapSite entitled "Spatial SQL-Who needs a traditional GIS?" will be on the conference program.
For a closer look at some of the new MySQL Spatial features, see the MySQL Forge website.
