Hi,

I'm new to mysql and opengis.

I have a table of cities with coordinates latitude and longitude and I'd like to create a row which would contain coordinate of type POINT.

mysql> describe cities;
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(64) | NO | | | |
| lat | double | NO | | 0 | |
| lng | double | NO | | 0 | |
| coord | point | YES | | NULL | |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
5 rows in set (0.01 sec)

I tried something like that:
UPDATE cities SET coord=GeomFromText('POINT(lat lng)'));

But it didn't work. The syntax is incorrect.
How can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help.
