MYSQL Spatial Data
I wish to store google coordinates in a Database
Unfortunately web host Don't support Postgress/ PostGIS so have to use MYSQL
many examples on the WWW including google developers suggest using float for both latitude & longitude
Why is this in preference to using point?
Should point be used for Lat Long values or is this for grid based co-ordinates?
How do you specify projection perimeters (SRID)?
If you use floats how do you perform any spatial analysis?
