MySQL: Invalid GIS data provided to function st_geometryfromtext

Here’s my code:

SET @poly =
    'Polygon((-98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.123832577126326))';

SELECT name
FROM county_shapes
WHERE MBRContains(ST_GeomFromText(@poly), SHAPE);

Whenever I run that I get a “MySQL: Invalid GIS data provided to function st_geometryfromtext” error.

This returns the same error:

SELECT name
FROM county_shapes
WHERE MBRContains(ST_GeomFromText('Polygon((-98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.123832577126326))'), SHAPE);

Any ideas?

Method 1

You need to specify the first and last point as same.

Try this.

SET @poly =
    'Polygon((-98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326,))';

SELECT name
FROM county_shapes
WHERE MBRContains(ST_GeomFromText(@poly), SHAPE);

AND

SELECT name
FROM county_shapes
WHERE MBRContains(ST_GeomFromText('Polygon((
              -98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.535734310413392,
              -97.48302581787107 30.123832577126326,
              -98.07697478272888 30.123832577126326))'), SHAPE);

Method 2

This was my query

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE ST_Within(point(`lon`, `lat`),ST_GeomFromText('MultiPolygon(((-58.5832214 -34.5365410,-58.5832214 -34.5365410,-58.5832214 -34.5365410,-58.5832214 -34.5365410,-58.5832214 -34.5365410)),((-58.5887184 -34.6642799,-58.2893410 -34.6642799,-58.2893410 -34.5280609,-58.5887184 -34.5280609,-58.5887184 -34.6642799,-58.5887184 -34.6642799),(-58.4351311 -34.5975914,-58.4347000 -34.5976410,-58.4346085 -34.5977516,-58.4348602 -34.5979195,-58.4351311 -34.5975914,-58.4351311 -34.5975914)))'))>'0'

If you see the first polygon’s points, all are same, its not a valid polygon

mysql 5.7 was throwing invalid GIS error, but mysql 8 was not throwing error

removing the first polygon solved my problem
