RDS MySQL 8.0.16 has empty "INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS" table On aws RDS I have an mysql 8.0.16 instance running.
My problem is now, that the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS table is empty.

This is a problem for me because I would like to create the following table:

CREATE TABLE my_table
(
    ...
    coordinates            POINT         NOT NULL SRID 4326
    ...
);


But this leads to an error message that says There's no spatial reference system with SRID 4326.

Whats going on here? Why is the table empty? I would expect it to contain at least one entry for the SRID 4326.
The new MySQL v8.0.16 image on RDS (as of writing this) is missing spatial references other than SRID 0. 

As a workaround, you can create a new instance with v8.0.15 and then perform the minor upgrade (requires reboot).

select count(*) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ST_SPATIAL_REFERENCE_SYSTEMS


...returns:
