Research direction

Start with the linked miscellaneous datatypes documentation and review the Stack Overflow resource. Document how hstore, geography, and geometry are used, including whether their behavior differs between MySQL and PostgreSQL. Done means the documentation covers these types and their database-specific usage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The only reference to postgis in our documentation is this.

We should document how these misc types are used (hstore, geography, geometry), and check whether they are different in mysql and postgres
