You did an insert this way: mysql> insert into geom values(GeomFromText('POINT(1,1)'));
and expected results this way: mysql> select AsText(g) from geom; +-----------+ | AsText(g) | +-----------+ | Point(1 1)| +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) The formatting of the POINT coordinates are different. I think you should be inserting "POINT (1 1)" not "POINT(1,1)". It is the comma. -steve- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
