1124731464,I_kwDOCGYnMM5DCgpI,399,"Make it easier to insert geometries, with documentation and maybe code",9599,open,0,,,25,2022-02-05T00:11:26Z,2023-05-16T03:11:52Z,,OWNER,,"In playing with the new SpatiaLite helpers from #385 I noticed that actually populating geometry columns is still a little bit tricky. Here's what I ended up doing:

```python
import httpx, sqlite_utils
db = sqlite_utils.Database(""/tmp/spatial.db"")
attractions = httpx.get(""https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/roadside_attractions.json?_shape=array"").json()
db[""attractions""].insert_all(attractions, pk=""pk"")

# Schema of that table is now:
# CREATE TABLE [attractions] (
#    [pk] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
#    [name] TEXT,
#    [address] TEXT,
#    [latitude] FLOAT,
#    [longitude] FLOAT
# )

db.init_spatialite()
db[""attractions""].add_geometry_column(""point"", ""POINT"")

db.execute(""""""
    update attractions set point = GeomFromText(
      'POINT(' || longitude || ' ' || latitude || ')', 4326
    )
"""""")
```
That last line took some figuring out - especially the need for the SRID of `4326`, without which I got this error:

> `IntegrityError: attractions.point violates Geometry constraint [geom-type or SRID not allowed]`

It would be good to both document this in more detail, but ideally also to come up with a more obvious pattern for inserting common types of spatial data.
