Someone told me that PostGIS exists. Currently I'm storing latitude and longitude information un a MariaDB, but I want to know if there is something similar for MariaDB.

Unfortunately, migrating to PostgreSQL is not an option.

    There is, but it doesn't have anything like the functionality of Postgis. This answer explains some of that. But there is basic contains and intersects type functionality and storage/indexing of spatial types. Commented Feb 13, 2016 at 9:04
  • Maria DB has limited functionality for spatial data compering to PostGIS. What functionality would like to use?
