title: Insert geometry values in mysql using node.js
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql</a> module with node.js.</p>
  
  <p>Mysql table has a field of type <code>POINT</code>. The module requires to send array of arrays to insert bulk records. But It doesn't seem to have option to specify data type.</p>
  
  <p>So naturally, the following gets enclosed in quotes</p>
  
  <pre><code>var loc = "GeomFromText('POINT(" + lat + "," + lon + ")')";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anybody tried this? How can I convince the query builder to treat this as an sql function?</p>
  
  <p>Or do I have to make my own query builder?</p>
