Geometry and Geography data types in mysql
<p>Sql sever have Spatial Data Types geometry and geography. There is geometry type is available in mysql, but I didn't find mysql geography in mysql. </p>

<p>I what to check intersection of location (Latitude,Longitude) with polygon geofence. I have done this in java, but that solution is too slow. Hence in sql server database I use geography datatype to store polygon geofence points data. And that give me faster result. </p>

<p>In mysql I din't find geograqphy data type. Latitude and longitude represent the angles. </p>

<p>so what if I use geometry datatype to store polygon geofece 
points(latitude,longitude) in mysql?</p>

<p>it will give me same result as geography?</p>
