GeoDjango & MySQL: points can't be NULL, what other “empty” value should I use?

Question

I have this Django model:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models

class Event(models.Model):
    address = models.TextField()
    point = models.PointField         


        

Answer 1

I just had the same issue. For me, I needed to specify to not make a spatial_index. So your model would change to:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models

class Event(models.Model):
    address = models.TextField()
    point = models.PointField('coordinates', null=True, blank=True, spatial_index=False)
