Enable native geospatial type support by default#1446
Merged
Conversation
Change EnableGeoSpatialSupport default from "0" to "1" so getObject() returns IGeometry/IGeography instances instead of raw EWKT strings. Users can set EnableGeoSpatialSupport=0 to restore the previous behavior. Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: Sreekanth Vadigi <sreekanth.vadigi@databricks.com>

| - Enabled native geospatial type support (`GEOMETRY` and `GEOGRAPHY`) by default. `getObject()` now returns `IGeometry`/`IGeography` instances instead of EWKT strings. Set `EnableGeoSpatialSupport=0` to restore the previous behavior. |
