title: MySQL latitude and Longitude table setup
body: <p>I want to store latitude and longitude values of places in a mysql database table. With the future in mind I will want to be able to find these places within a certain radius of a specific location. Having said that, what datatypes should I store the latitude and longitude values in? Please could you provide me with a create table script for columns like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>place_id  |  lat  |  long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there perhaps a column I am missing in the above table that will provide me with additional information that I may not see I need at the current time?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
