Re: Names of polygons

You can add a field "Name" on the table and do selects similar to:


select Name from mytable where Within(GeomFromText('POINT(8.5929098 50.0286713)'), geometry_field) = 1;

Note that with this approach you must ensure that don't group polygons with different name on the same geometryCollection. In general it's more useful maintain different rows for each polygon.

Also Note that Within is equivalent to MBRWithin so the select returns more rows that it must.
