Hello - I have a spatially enabled MySQL table with a POINT column storing my geometries.
In order to add a spatial index, the geometry column must be NOT NULL. However, MySQL does not seem to allow setting DEFAULT values for geometry columns, so I am in a position where I cannot have an index and insert new rows, as Sequel does not support any spatial data types. I am considering dropping the index before insert, then run an UPDATE statement to convert WKT spatial data into MySQL spatial data, then put the index back on...which is obviously bit convoluted. Alternatively I could just send a CREATE statement via Sequel, but this loses much of the ORM advantage of using Sequel in the first place! Has anyone worked around this sort of situation before?
