Important

Helios features are now enabled during weekly update windows and are no longer directly tied to SingleStore engine releases. Refer to the release notes to view the latest features available in your Helios cluster.

Geospatial Types

Geospatial types contain information about points, paths, and polygons on the surface of the Earth. For more information, see Working with Geospatial Features.

Data Type	Size	Size (Not Null)
GEOGRAPHYPOINT	8 bytes	8 bytes
GEOGRAPHY	See note

Important

The space consumed by the path and polygon data in Geography columns is dependent on the complexity of the objects. Very roughly, a Geography value consumes 24 bytes per vertex, plus a 64 byte overhead, plus some minor overhead for each “ring” in a multipolygon.

Indexing a Geography object may also consume more space than indexes over other data types. The rule of thumb is 40 bytes * the value of the RESOLUTION parameter of the index, per row.

Verification instructions

Note: You must install cosign to verify the authenticity of the SingleStore file.

Use the following steps to verify the authenticity of singlestoredb-server, singlestoredb-toolbox, singlestoredb-studio, and singlestore-client SingleStore files that have been downloaded.

You may perform the following steps on any computer that can run cosign, such as the main deployment host of the cluster.

(Optional) Run the following command to view the associated signature files.
Shell
```
curl undefined
```
Download the signature file from the SingleStore release server.
- Option 1: Click the Download Signature button next to the SingleStore file.
- Option 2: Copy and paste the following URL into the address bar of your browser and save the signature file.
- Option 3: Run the following command to download the signature file.
  Shell
```
curl -O undefined
```

After the signature file has been downloaded, run the following command to verify the authenticity of the SingleStore file.

Shell
