Ian, As I understand it you would only be able to use the MySQL in MapInfo to work with point features. I believe this is because there is no driver available for MapInfo to read the geometries stored in MySQL. How hard it is to write something that will allow MapInfo to read the data I do not know!

I know you can use it as a simple database, but I am looking at using the spatial extensions that are built-in much like SpatialWare.
