Hi, I am trying out the new GIS capabilities in MySQL 4.1.1-alpha (windows) and I am trying to follow some of the examples from chapter 10 in the manual.
Here is a snap shot of my run -------------------------------------------------------------------- mysql> create table geom(g geometry); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec) mysql> insert into geom values(GeomFromText('POINT(1,1)')); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from geom; +------+ | g | +------+ | NULL | +------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select AsText(g) from geom; +-----------+ | AsText(g) | +-----------+ | NULL | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Notice that the select statement at the end gives me NULL for the value of g. I was expecting the following: mysql> select AsText(g) from geom; +-----------+ | AsText(g) | +-----------+ | Point(1 1)| +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Does anyone know what I am missing?
