Spatial Data Storage Tips

The company I work for has migrated to SQL Server 2008 and we're ready to start planning for the use of geospatial data. One of the applications we want to use geospatial data in will assist order fulfillers in efficiently picking stock for orders. Our warehouse is fairly large, which geospatial data type should we use?

The company I work with has migrated most of its geospatial data to SQL Server 2008's new spatial data types. During the course of a recent conversation the initialism GML was used a number of times. I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds like some type of markup language, particularly since they were mentioning data transfer and consumption in the same context. How close was my guess?

So, I've heard about the new geospatial data types in SQL Server 2008 and my company would like to take advantage of them when we migrate; however, I'm relatively new to geodatabases and geospatial data. What can you tell me about it?

The institution I work with has decided to migrate their database system to SQL Server 2008. One of the applications uses geospatial data, which consists of millions of rows. I understand that their are indexes that can be used for geospatial data, but have not worked with them. What's the scoop on them?

We are working on the migration to SQL Server 2008 and have geospatial data that we would like to move over as well. As part of our application we house information on locations across the globe. Which data type should we use?

Geography is one of the spatial data types introduced in SQL Server 2008. One of the characteristic of the geography data type is that it can accommodate any supported geometry based on any supported spatial reference system in the same field. So if the data that is stored in a column of geography data type is not standardized, it can be a very tedious and resource intensive task to figure out the geometry and spatial reference system associated with each value. To deal with this issue, we need to standardize the data stored in a field of that has the geography data type and in this tip we will look at how to deal with this issue.
