**Note**: For data insertion, if `GeomFromText()` in INSERT statements encounters issues, use this workaround:
1214+
```javascript
1215+
// 1. Get binary geometry data
1216+
read_query({"query": "SELECT HEX(GeomFromText('POINT(x y)', 4326)) as hex_geom"})
1217+
1218+
// 2. Insert using binary format
1219+
write_query({"query": "INSERT INTO table (geom) VALUES (X'hex_value')"})
1220+
```

> **✅ Windows Compatibility:** SpatiaLite v2.0.0 successfully provides full geospatial functionality on Windows! All spatial analysis, geometry operations, and spatial indexing work perfectly. The only minor limitation is `GeomFromText()` within INSERT statements, which has the simple workaround shown above.
