Greg, A preliminary MySQL spatial backend was added last week in r6527. The documentation for the MySQL database API may be found at: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#MySQL
You should be aware of MySQL's spatial limitations: (1) all spatial queries are restricted to the MBR's (Minimum Bounding Rectangles) of the geometries; (2) MySQL is completely ignorant of coordinate systems and transformations; and (3) spatial indexes are only supported with MyISAM tables (no transactions!). Thus, all of if you're doing any sort of 'serious' GIS, you should consider migrating to PostgreSQL/PostGIS as you will certainly run into a wall trying to coerce MySQL's limited offerings into something more. -Justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
