title: JDBC: How to read MySQL point format
body: <p>I have a 2D POINT column in MySQL. I use JDBC to read it into a Java Object. The result is a byte[25]. I am wondering what format this is so I can convert it to my point (e.g. double values)</p>
  
  <p>The point is set like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UPDATE ... SET point=GeomFromText('POINT(18 63)')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>resulting bytes in the DB:</p>
  
  <pre><code>0x00000000010100000000000000000032400000000000804F40
  </code></pre>
