Hi,
Is there any way to use SQL server to store and query geographical data? For
example, be able to query all the records that fall withing certain
geographical poligon defined by lat/lon coordinates?
Thanks.
You're talking about GIS. You could store the data in SQL but you're
probably going to use MapInfo or ArcInfo to perform the geographical
queries..
