MySQL 8.4 Release Notes
28.3.36 INFORMATION_SCHEMA ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS 表
The ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS table provides information about available spatial reference systems (SRSs) for spatial data. This table is based on the SQL/MM (ISO/IEC 13249-3) standard.
Entries in the ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS table are based on the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) data set, except for SRID 0, which corresponds to a special SRS used in MySQL that represents an infinite flat Cartesian plane with no units assigned to its axes. For additional information about SRSs, see Section 13.4.5, “Spatial Reference System Support”.
The ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS table has these columns:
-
SRS_NAMEThe spatial reference system name. This value is unique.
-
SRS_IDThe spatial reference system numeric ID. This value is unique.
SRS_IDvalues represent the same kind of values as the SRID of geometry values or passed as the SRID argument to spatial functions. SRID 0 (the unitless Cartesian plane) is special. It is always a legal spatial reference system ID and can be used in any computations on spatial data that depend on SRID values. -
ORGANIZATIONThe name of the organization that defined the coordinate system on which the spatial reference system is based.
-
ORGANIZATION_COORDSYS_IDThe numeric ID given to the spatial reference system by the organization that defined it.
-
DEFINITIONThe spatial reference system definition.
DEFINITIONvalues are WKT values, represented as specified in the Open Geospatial Consortium document OGC 12-063r5.SRS definition parsing occurs on demand when definitions are needed by GIS functions. Parsed definitions are stored in the data dictionary cache to enable reuse and avoid incurring parsing overhead for every statement that needs SRS information.
-
DESCRIPTIONThe spatial reference system description.

The
SRS_NAME,ORGANIZATION,ORGANIZATION_COORDSYS_ID, andDESCRIPTIONcolumns contain information that may be of interest to users, but they are not used by MySQL.

DESCRIPTION:This entry describes the SRS used for GPS systems. It has a name (SRS_NAME) of WGS 84 and an ID (SRS_ID) of 4326, which is the ID used by the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG).
The DEFINITION values for projected and geographic SRSs begin with PROJCS and GEOGCS, respectively. The definition for SRID 0 is special and has an empty DEFINITION value. The following query determines how many entries in the ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS table correspond to projected, geographic, and other SRSs, based on DEFINITION values:
mysql> SELECT
COUNT(*),
CASE LEFT(DEFINITION, 6)
WHEN 'PROJCS' THEN 'Projected'
WHEN 'GEOGCS' THEN 'Geographic'
ELSE 'Other'
END AS SRS_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS
GROUP BY SRS_TYPE;
+----------+------------+
| COUNT(*) | SRS_TYPE |
+----------+------------+
| 1 | Other |
| 4668 | Projected |
| 483 | Geographic |
+----------+------------+To enable manipulation of SRS entries stored in the data dictionary, MySQL provides these SQL statements:
-
CREATE SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM: See Section 15.1.19, “CREATE SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM Statement”. The description for this statement includes additional information about SRS components. -
DROP SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM: See Section 15.1.31, “DROP SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM Statement”.
