Scripts

Several scripts are included in the SQL Scripts directory. These include scripts for registering and unregistering all of the following components, as well as several examples of their use.

Functions

These static methods, implemented in the class Functions, can both be registered in SQL Server and used through T-SQL, as well as be used directly from the CLR:

SqlGeography FilterArtifactsGeography(SqlGeography geography, bool filterEmptyShapes, bool filterPoints, double lineStringTolerance, double ringTolerance)
Selectively filter unwanted, artifact, shapes from input geography, with the following arguments:

Types

These types can be registered in SQL Server or used directly through the CLR.

This class provides an extensible access point to various projections and inverse projections. See the file projection_example.sql for a sample of its use. Currently supported projections are:

Albers Equal Area
Equirectangular
Lambert Conformal Conic
Mercator
Oblique Mercator
Tranverse Mercator
Gnomonic

AffineTransform
This provides general affine transformations. See the example transform_example.sql for a sample of its use.

Aggregates

While implemented as classes, aggregates are essentially functions that take a collection of inputs to a single result.

GeographyUnionAggregate
This aggregate computes the union of a set of geographies.

GeometryEnvelopeAggregate
This aggregate computes the envelope of a set of input geometries.

Project Description
This project is a collection of tools for use with the spatial types that are new to SQL Server 2008. This project does not provide an end-user application, but rather a set of reusable functions which applications can make use of.

These functions may include data conversion routines, new transformations, aggregates, etc. Please feel free to suggest additional functionality.

This project is sponsored by Microsoft, but we welcome outside developers.

You might be interested in Current Contents of this project.

This provides general affine transformations. See the example transform_example.sql for a sample of its use.

Aggregates

While implemented as classes, aggregates are essentially functions that take a collection of inputs to a single result.

GeographyUnionAggregate
This aggregate finds the union of a set of geographies with an optional additional buffer.

GeometryEnvelopeAggregate
This aggregate finds the envelope that contains a set of input geometries.

Functions

These static methods, implemented in the class Functions, can both be registered in SQL Server and used through T-SQL, as well as be used directly from the CLR:

SqlGeography DensifyGeography(SqlGeography g, double maxAngle)
Returns a geography instance equivalent to its input, but with no two consecutive points spaced more than maxAngle apart.

SqlGeography InterpolateBetweenGeog(SqlGeography start, SqlGeography end, double distance)
Takes start and end geography points and returns a new point that is a given distance from the start toward the end.

SqlGeometry InterpolateBetweenGeom(SqlGeometry start, SqlGeometry end, double distance)
Takes start and end geometry points and returns a new point that is a given distance from the start toward the end.

SqlGeography LocateAlongGeog(SqlGeography g, double distance)
Takes a geography linestring and finds the point a given distance along it.

SqlGeometry LocateAlongGeom(SqlGeometry g, double distance)
Takes a geometry linestring and finds the point a given distance along it.

SqlGeometry ShiftGeometry(SqlGeometry g, double xShift, double yShift)
Takes a geometry instance and shifts if by a given X and Y amount.

SqlGeometry VacuousGeographyToGeometry(SqlGeography toConvert, int targetSrid)
A special case of the equirectangular projection, taking each point (lat,long) --> (y, x).

SqlGeography VacuousGeometryToGeography(SqlGeometry toConvert, int targetSrid)
The inverse of the VacuousGeographyToGeometry projection.
