Can someone give me some outline of problems in handling spatial

If you are specifically looking for problems you might find the
following interesting:

It is written by somebody from the PostGIS project so there might
be some bias. But since PostgreSQL and PostGIS are both Open
Source too, there is nothing to stop you from doing your own
tests: http://postgis.refractions.net/

Yes, that page is a good source of information. One point to note is that
it indicates that trying to create a spatial index on an InnoDB table crashes
the server. That problem has been fixed. Instead, you get an error message.
