Microsoft SQL Server 2008 introduces new geography and geometry
spatial datatypes that enable the storage of structured data
describing the shape and position of objects in space. This is an
interesting and exciting new feature, with many potentially useful

Beginning Spatial with SQL Server 2008 covers everything you
need to know to begin using these new spatial datatypes, and
explains how to apply them in practical situations involving the
spatial relationships of people, places, and things on the
earth.All of the spatial concepts introduced are explained from the
ground up, so you need not have any previous knowledge of working
with spatial data. Every section is illustrated with code examples
that you can use directly in SQL Server. All of the topics covered
in this book apply to all versions of SQL Server 2008, including
the freely available SQL Server 2008 Express. What you'll learn
Understand the fundamental concepts involved in working with

realworld objects.Learn how to analyze spatial data using a range
of supported methods, and be aware of a number of different
practical applications for these methods.Be shown how to integrate
SQL Server with other tools, such as Microsoft Virtual Earth, to
display a visual representation of spatial data.Know how to ensure
