MySQL Error 4032: Invalid Data Type Conversion
Description
This error occurs when MySQL attempts to convert data from one type to another, but the source data is incompatible with the target data type, often involving spatial (GEOMETRY) types. It typically arises during data manipulation statements like INSERT or UPDATE.
Error Message
Invalid cast from %s to %s.
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect Data for Spatial Column
You are attempting to store non-spatial data, such as a plain string or number, directly into a column defined with a spatial data type (e.g., GEOMETRY, POINT, LINESTRING).
Incompatible Explicit Type Cast
Your SQL query uses CAST() or CONVERT() functions to explicitly transform a value into a data type that it cannot logically be converted to, particularly when targeting GEOMETRY.
Malformed Spatial Data Format
When providing spatial data, such as Well-Known Text (WKT) or Well-Known Binary (WKB), the format is incorrect, incomplete, or corrupted, preventing MySQL from parsing it into a valid GEOMETRY object.
