AWS AmazonRDS: Document Babelfish MultiLineString and spatial index support

Service: AmazonRDS · 2026-09-30 · Documentation low

File: AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/babelfish-geospatial.md

Summary

Adds MultiLineString data type and spatial index support notes, the STMLineFromText function, and updates the unsupported-features list for Babelfish geospatial data types.

Security assessment

The diff describes new geospatial feature support (MultiLineString, spatial indexes, STMLineFromText) and limitations; it is purely functional documentation with no security-relevant guidance or vulnerability fix.

Evidence

+  * Supports Spatial Indexes (from version 5.7.0 and 6.2.0). This allows you to index a spatial table column.
