      I've been trying to use SQLyog to create a table with spatial columns. However I cannot select these column types.

      If SQLyog is missing Spatial support, please will you add it? And if I'm being silly, please tell me what I'm doing wrong 🙂

      Your are probably not more silly than average 🙂

      We do not support SPATIAL datatypes from the GUI (but you can type and execute anything from the SQL editor of course). It would be no big deal to add those types, but we also would then need to display the content of those data a meaningful way – and that is a bigger issue.

      There is no plans to add it for those versions (up to 6.2) where features have 'roughly' been defined.

      Basically they should be displayed geometrically! And I doubt the demand/effort ratio is high! But of course there are simpler solutions too. What would be a reasonable but still simple implementation for you?

      The only implementation I was thinking of was a textual representation of the column's contents (eg a point column would show POINT(-1.543298, 50.321987)). That would be perfectly adequate for me – I'm entering the points as text so it's what I'm used to deal with.

      Kind regards,

      Peter
