MariaDB Error 1416: Invalid Spatial Data Input
Description
MariaDB Error 1416 indicates that the data provided for a GEOMETRY column cannot be properly interpreted as a valid spatial object. This error typically occurs when attempting to insert or update spatial data, or when converting data to a spatial type, if the format or content is incorrect or malformed.
Error Message

Known Causes
3 known causesMalformed WKT or WKB Data
The Well-Known Text (WKT) or Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation of the geometry object is syntactically incorrect or corrupted, preventing MariaDB from parsing it.
Semantically Invalid Geometry
The provided spatial data, while possibly formatted correctly, describes a geometry that is not valid according to OGC standards (e.g., a self-intersecting polygon or a line with insufficient points).
Incorrect Input Data Type or Format
The data passed to a spatial function or directly to the GEOMETRY field is not in the expected string (WKT) or binary (WKB) format, or is of an incompatible data type.
