Thanks, but according to the documentation the Contains() function is
the same as the MBRContains() function which only tests if the point
is inside the minimum bounding rectangle of the polygon, not the
actual polygon.
See the following:

Hello Mark,
You can locate a point, whether inside or outside a polygon area using the
query below:
SELECT contains(geomfromtext(@poly),geomfromtext(@p));
where @poly,@p are variables.
Eg: set @p='Point(3 2)';
set @poly= 'Polygon((0 0,0 3,3 0,0 0),(1 1,1 2,2 1,1 1
