# MySQL Spatial

Canonical: https://gisforweb.com/tools/mysql-spatial/

Spatial types, indexes and functions built into MySQL and MariaDB.

MySQL includes built-in spatial support: geometry types, SPATIAL indexes and a set of OGC-compliant functions for storage and analysis of geographic data. Handy when your data already lives in MySQL, though considerably less capable than PostGIS for serious spatial workloads.
