MySQL空间扩展支持几何数据的存储，生成，分析，优化。
1、空间数据类型(存储)
MySQL支持以下数据类型：
Geometry:可以存储所有的几何类型
Point:简单点
LINESTRING:简单线
POLYGON:简单面
MULITIPOINT:多点
MULITILINESTRING:多线
MUILITIPOLYGON:多面
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION:任何几何集合
在创建表的时候可以根据需求选择合适的几何类型存储你的空间数据。
2、空间数据类型的生成
MySQ L支持WKB,WKT数据生成空间数据类型，提供如下函数：
GeomFromText(wtk [,srid) PointFromText LINESTRINGFROMTEXT …
GeomFromWKB(wtk [,srid) GeomFromWKB GeomFromWKB …
3、空间运算分析
MYSQL以函数的形式提供对空间运算的支持：
ST_Buffer ST_Contains ST_Distance ST_Intersects MBRIntersects …
4、优化
为了优化查询，MySQL提供空间索引支持，目前仅在MyISAM数据引擎下提供空间索引支持,要求几何字段非空
创建空间索引格式如下：
CREATE SPATIAL INDEX t_geo_test_sidx ON t_geo_test(SHAPE);
可以看到比普通索引多了一个关键字 Spatial，删除空间索引的语句与删除普通索引的语句是一样的。
5、测试
建表：
CREATE TABLE t_geo_test (
ID int(11) NOT NULL ,
SHAPE geometry NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)
ENGINE=MyISAM
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_general_ci
CHECKSUM=0
ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
DELAY_KEY_WRITE=0
;
插入数据：
insert into t_geo_test select fid,geomfromtext(shape) from zjgis.g_bd_substation_p;
查询：
通过SQL解释可以看到TYPE:ALL KEY:NULL 代表全表扫描
建索引：
CREATE SPATIAL INDEX t_geo_test_sidx ON t_geo_test(SHAPE);
可以看到TYPE:range KEY:t_geo_tesx_sidx 表示使用了空间索引t_geo_tesx_sidx
在数据量比较大的时候，空间索引至关重要。
建索引前查询时间：
建索引后查询时间：
虽然数据不多(3500左右)，查询耗时还是有所差距的。
