I'm trying to store a Spatial Point in a dataBase in phpMyAdmin and I don't know why is always shown like [GEOMETRY-25B]. Below is the command I use.
INSERT INTO `locations`(`Location`) VALUES (GeomFromText( 'POINT(40 -100)'))
or
INSERT INTO `locations`(`Location`) VALUES (Point(40,-100))
Click on Options, then select "Full text" and "Well Known Text".
I found something. The points are stored ok and if you try to execute the query below it returns the points as POINT(4 5) for example. But how can I make them visible to the table?
SELECT AsText(`Location`) FROM `products`
Update:
As #Marc mentioned above, after the upgrade of phpMyAdmin to the latest version 4.0.7 there is an Option "Well Known Text" which makes points visible to the table.

I'm creating an API for POIs and use the POINT-Type to store the coordinates.
As my company uses CakePHP I have to write a migration-script with Phinx.
But I don't have any Idea how to correctly create a column with the POINT-Type.
Sure, I just could make an "ALTER TABLE ..." in a handwritten Query, but maybe there is a better way?
Versions:
Cake: 3.4.7
Phinx: 0.6.5
MySQL: 5.7.18
Phinx Does not provide an adapter for POINT yet.
You should create your query manually.
See also Unable to seed data with POINT datatype #999
Just use "point" as you would use any other datatype as the second parameter of addColumn().
It's just not documented yet.
Credits for this solution are going to #ndm;
I just think it's worth putting this as answer instead as a comment.
Looks like Phinx supports point types for quite some time now (the docs are not up to date)... try to use \Phinx\Db\Adapter\AdapterInterface::PHINX_TYPE_POINT as the type
I'm trying to build a Data Integration job uses pass through to extract data from a view in a MySQL database.
Wev'e been using pass through a lot in the project, mostly extracting data from Redshift,
however with MySQL I was not able to do make it work properly.
It keeps complaining a table is missing even though when pass through is off, view is found and data is extracted...
tried every trick I know, starting from enabling case-sensitive DBMS object names, to manually remove single/double quotes from the statement just in case MySQL confuses confuses it with something else...
No luck.
ODBC driver is [MySQL][ODBC 5.3(a) Driver][mysqld-5.5.53].
Ran on a Windows environment.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT
So, first of all, one correction (even though not that important - I extract from a view, not a table).
This is the code generated by SAS Create Table transformation, pass through enabled. I only put an asterisk instead of the full list of columns:
proc sql;
connect to ODBC
(
READBUFF=10000 DATASRC="cmp.web_api" AUTHDOMAIN="MYSQL_CMP_Auth"
);
create table work."W7ZZZKOC"n as
select
*
from connection to ODBC

disconnect from ODBC;
quit;
And again, when I extract data without pass through - works successfully,
I found out the problem was a column name exceeds 32 positions.
As SAS supports up column names up to 32,
the query fails to find PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_OF_THIS_CUSTOMER as the original column name is PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_OF_THIS_CUSTOMER__C.
EDIT
One more thing I found out is, MySQL doesn't like specifying schema name nor aliases.
Therefore,
From clause to only specify table name i.e : 'from v_bi_account' rather than 'web_api.v_bi_account'
and do not use aliases i.e use 'from v_bi_account' rather than 'from v_bi_account as v_bi_account'
Thank you guys so much for your help.
I'm using the MySQL Query Browser (part of the MySQL GUI Tools) and need to change a field to NULL, but I can't figure out how to do it - if I delete the value it tries to update it to ''. Typing "NULL" makes it try to update to 'NULL' (a string).
I know I could just write a query to do it, but that defeats the entire purpose of the tool, no?
In MySQL Query Browser, right click on the cell and select 'Clear field content' while the focus is in another cell.
In MySQL Workbench, right click on the cell and select 'Set Field to NULL'.
In MySQL Workbench, with the cell selected, press Shift + Delete
Tested on 6.3.4.0
Right-click on that column and select the
'Set field to Null'
option from the context menu.
Removing the contents:
This works for some tools (sorry to hear it doesn't for yours).
This may not appear as null but will when you perform a query.
Shift + Delete
work well in MySql Workbench 8
I'd try Ctrl-0 (zero), because that works in some tools.
I already used Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and found really easy to execute single/multiple lines of an sql query.
Example:
insert into tablea
($vala, $valb, $valc)
values
($vala, $valb, $valc);
insert into tableb
($vala, $valb, $valc)
values
($vala, $valb, $valc);
How can I execute the second part only? In MSSQL i will highlight the second insert statment and press F5. How can do this in mySQL?
The problem is that you must be trying to execute your query from a Query Tab rather than from a Script Tab. Go to File -> New Script Tab and input your multiple statements there. Next click the execute button... that's it.
Hope it helps!

You can do this. When you have logged into MySQL query browser, and you write two complete statments such as:
select "hello world";
select "second query";
You will notice two blue dots on the left side of the window they are left of the line numbers. By default it will try to exec the first command. That might be why you see one command with white background and all the others with a grey background. The command that is white, is highlighted and it is the one that will be executed. You should be able to just click anywhere inside the second query to highlight it and then click the lightning bolt button (execute) to run it.
You can do this in MySQL, but you have to use mysqli. Click here for details:
http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.quickstart.multiple-statement.php
In workbench, make sure the cursor is in the statement you want to execute and hit Ctrl+Enter.
Ctrl+Shift+Enter will run all statements consecutively in the window/document.
In addition if you have selected a statement, Ctrl+Shift+Enter will execute the selected statement only.
Does selecting the second part and "EXECUTE" help? If not, then I am not sure if such a use case is supported. You might want to try MySQL Workbench though.
well the issue here is that if i write the queries :
select "hello world";
select "second query";
and Execute it gives error -- when i select/highlight any one of them and execute it gives the same error -- so i have to either delete one of the queries or comment it out or use the script editor which doesn't work for me and lot of other users who have use MS SQL 2000,2005.
If there a solution for this -- ideally it should execute the query i select .
Just an opinion
