CREATE TABLE gis_geometrycollection  (g GEOMETRYCOLLECTION);
SHOW FIELDS FROM gis_geometrycollection;
INSERT INTO gis_geometrycollection VALUES
    (GeomCollFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(0 0), LINESTRING(0 0,10 10))')),
    (GeometryFromWKB(AsWKB(GeometryCollection(Point(44, 6), LineString(Point(3, 6), Point(7, 9)))))),
    (GeomFromText('GeometryCollection()')),
