For InnoDB and MyISAM tables, MySQL can create spatial indexes using syntax similar to that for creating regular indexes, but using the SPATIAL keyword. For storage engines that support nonspatial indexing of spatial columns, the engine creates a ...
https://dev.mysql.com/spatial-type-overview.html
MySQL has spatial data types that correspond to OpenGIS classes. The basis for these types is described in Section 11.5.2, “The OpenGIS Geometry Model”. Some spatial data types hold single geometry values: GEOMETRY POINT LINESTRING POLYGON ...
https://dev.mysql.com/spatial-relation-functions-object-shapes.html
The OpenGIS specification defines the following functions to test the relationship between two geometry values g1 and g2, using precise object shapes. The return values 1 and 0 indicate true and false, respectively, except for ST_Distance(), which ...

A spatial reference system (SRS) for spatial data is a coordinate-based system for geographic locations. There are different types of spatial reference systems: A projected SRS is a projection of a globe onto a flat surface; that is, a flat map.
https://dev.mysql.com/optimizing-spatial-analysis.html
For MyISAM and InnoDB tables, search operations in columns containing spatial data can be optimized using SPATIAL indexes. The most typical operations are: Point queries that search for all objects that contain a given point Region queries that ...
https://dev.mysql.com/spatial-index-optimization.html
MySQL permits creation of SPATIAL indexes on NOT NULL geometry-valued columns (see Section 11.5.10, “Creating Spatial Indexes”). The optimizer checks the SRID attribute for indexed columns to determine which spatial reference system (SRS) to ...
https://dev.mysql.com/creating-spatial-columns.html
MySQL provides a standard way of creating spatial columns for geometry types, for example, with CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE. Spatial columns are supported for MyISAM, InnoDB, NDB, and ARCHIVE tables. See also the notes about spatial indexes under ...
https://dev.mysql.com/spatial-function-argument-handling.html
Spatial values, or geometries, have the properties described at Section 11.5.2.2, “Geometry Class”. Specific functions or groups of functions may have additional argument-handling characteristics, as discussed in the sections where those ...
