I was about to add a utility function to [datasette-geojson]() to convert lat/lng columns to geometries. Thankfully I googled first. There's a SpatiaLite function for this: [MakePoint](https://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-latest.html#p0).\r\n\r\n```sql\r\nselect MakePoint(longitude, latitude) as geometry from places;\r\n```\r\n\r\nI'm not sure if that would work with `conversions`, since it needs two columns, but it's an option for tables that already have latitude, longitude columns.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 1124731464, "label": "Make it easier to insert geometries, with documentation and maybe code"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
