Geopoint column type and query support

Kostas Botsas

Store geolocation data (lat/lon coordinates) in a dedicated column type.

Support geo bounding queries based on shapes (such us box) on geolocation columns.

Looking forward to this too. We need proper geo search capabilities so will have to wait until migrating.

Kostas Botsas any idea when the team might work on this?

Cody Hoffman: Geo support is definitely in our roadmap, we have not assigned a timeline yet though. I will make sure to get in touch as soon as we have an update, so we can discuss in more detail about requirements for this feature. In case you'd like to share more with us about your use case please let us know at support@xata.io, we will be glad to get some feedback.

Im really looking forward to this. It's the only thing that is holding me back from migrating to Xata, since my app is based on geographical data where at least I need basic geo queries (indexing). There are JS libraries for calculating geo indices outside the database, but they're all poorly maintained.
