No, is the same
And XML is not a good idea when it comes to web-based files and solutions
IFC is more “object-oriented” and less relational but I think this issue will solve soon (However, some useful projects like IfcOpenShell are exist today)
And SQL servers like MySQL have limitations in this area today and just support simple geometries and have limitations in "Geometry DATATYPE"s
But for sure MySQL has a great community and will solve the limitations in the near future
