Thanks Ian, I've started going through the functions. On https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/st_convexhull/, the note says "ST_ConvexHull() was introduced in MariaDB 10.1.2" -- per your last email, it sounds like that means that ConvexHull (no ST_) should've been in MariaDB in all versions.
Since MySQL didn't add ConvexHull until 5.7.5, I'm wondering if - I'm misinterpreting that, - MariaDB really did have ConvexHull since the start - MySQL's docs are off and it did have it previously - MariaDB's docs are off and ConvexHull was also added in 10.1.2 Also, MySQL 5.7.6 deprecated several functions, including ConvexHull() -- are any functions currently deprecated in MariaDB, and if so, are they noted as such? Or would that come in a future version? Once again, thanks for your help! -- Michael Moore On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 8:43 AM, Ian Gilfillan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Michael > > The versions have been added to the function documentation. > > If no version is listed, it's available in all versions of MariaDB, for > example https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/glength/ > > Some have had synonyms added, for example > https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/st_geomcollfromwkb/ where > GeomCollFromWKB is available in all versions, and ST_GeomCollFromWKB since > 5.3.3 > > Looking forward to seeing the table! > > > On 25/05/2016 14:35, Michael Moore wrote: > > Thanks Ian! > > That will help a lot. > > I look forward to your updates. > > -- > Michael Moore > > > > On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 5:43 AM, Ian Gilfillan <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Michael >> >> Great, thanks for the initiative! >> >> Unfortunately, most of the function pages don't specify the version they >> were introduced.
