I am trying to use the geometry data types introduced in version 4.1-alpha
and the spatial indexing seems to work well.  But I have a large volume of
data to load, and from the documentation all I can see is that I have to
load using a set of INSERT (or UPDATE) commands, which are rather verbose,
and which produce a lot of messages each time a row is inserted:

INSERT INTO tm VALUES
(  0.01082,  0.08536,  0.46,16.84,16.129,15.856,polygonfromtext('polygon((0.00
999  0.08452,  0.01165  0.08452,  0.01165  0.08619,  0.00999  0.08619,
0.00999  0.08452))'));

I have made the inserts load many rows at a time, which helps a
little, but it is still slow.  Does anyone know if there is a bulk load
format, suitable for use with LOAD DATA INFILE...
