Support Point Data Type for MySQL

Support Point data type for MySQL. #58721 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Support for Point data type in MySQL engine integration.

Why it matters

This feature adds support for the Point data type when using ClickHouse's MySQL engine, allowing ClickHouse to correctly interpret and work with spatial Point data from MySQL sources. It enhances compatibility and usability for users working with geospatial data between MySQL and ClickHouse.

How to use it

Users can now query and interact with Point data from MySQL tables via the MySQL engine in ClickHouse without additional conversion steps. No special configuration is required beyond using the MySQL engine to connect to MySQL tables containing Point data.
