In the article, we are going to discuss data types including string, numeric, date and time, spatial, and JSON supported by MySQL. Also, we’ll provide examples of their usage and see how to change a data type for the table column using dbForge Studio for MySQL. Contents What is a Data Type Data Types in […]
The post Data Types in MySQL: Tutorial and Full List with Examples of Data Formats appeared first on Devart Blog.
The big change from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 when it comes to spatial data, is the support for multiple spatial reference systems and geographic computations. This means that the SRIDs of geometries actually have meaning and affect computations. In 5.7 and earlier, however, the SRIDs are ignored, and all computations are Cartesian.…
There are many changes to spatial functions in MySQL 8.0:
The first two are failing cases.…
MySQL 8.0.11 comes with a catalog of 5108 spatial reference systems (SRSs). 4628 projections (flat maps), 479 geographic (ellipsoidal) representations of Earth, and one Cartesian all-purpose abstract plane (SRID 0). And if for some reason that isn’t enough, we can create our own.…
MySQL has had spatial indexes for many years, but they have all been Cartesian (X and Y coordinates) indexes. MySQL 8.0 adds support for geographic (latitude-longitude) indexes. In an earlier blog post, I described how the feature works. In this post, we’ll go into the details of how to upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0 if you have spatial indexes.…
MySQL 8.0.11 comes with a catalog of 5108 spatial reference system (SRS) definitions. In a previous post, we covered the definitions of geographic SRSs. In this post we’ll go into the details of projected SRSs. (If you haven’t done so already, I suggest you read the previous post first.)
Projected SRSs are flat, Cartesian coordinate systems created by projecting points on (an oblate spheroidal model of) Earth onto a flat surface.…
MySQL 8.0.11 comes with a catalog of 5108 spatial reference system (SRS) definitions, and 479 of these are geographic. We usually just refer to them by SRID, but in this blog post we’ll dive into the details and try to understand the definition itself.…
One of the big features of MySQL 8.0 is geography support. MySQL now has a catalog of spatial reference systems (SRSs), of which almost 500 are geographic. Most functions also support geographic computations. What about indexes?
MySQL 8.0 comes with InnoDB spatial indexes for geographic data.…
MySQL 8.0 has many new GIS features, including a catalog of spatial reference systems (SRSs) and support for geographic (latitude-longitude) computations.
In a Cartesian SRS, it doesn’t really matter which coordinate is on which axis. The axes are orthogonal and the units are the same on both axes, so if a user consistently puts the X value in the Y coordinate and the Y value in the X coordinate, it doesn’t affect computations (in the functions MySQL currently supports).…
MySQL 8.0.11 comes with a catalog of 5108 spatial reference systems (SRSs): 4628 projections (flat maps), 479 geographic (ellipsoidal) representations of Earth, and one Cartesian all-purpose abstract plane (SRID 0).
Projections
Projected SRSs are Cartesian planes, just like SRID 0.…
