I don't remember exactly, we had points and polygons in 4326 and were trying do things like distance/intersects/area. Count me in as eagerly awaiting full support of SRIDs.

MySQL 8.0.16 supports all those.

Geographic ST_Distance is currently limited to points and multipoints because of limitations in Boost Geometry, but we've got that fixed in Boost now, so full type support should soon arrive also in MySQL.
