Anton> Anton Krasovsky Hi! Generally we plan to include everything that will give you more speed or increased flexibility into MySQL, but for the moment we don't have plans to include R-Trees or RD-Trees in the real near future. (We must simply get our TODO a bit smaller first) MySQL has on the other hand a quite flexible interface to the storage system, so it isn't that hard to implement additional storage handlers.
