Very informative and easy to follow quick kick start article on using SQL Server with Maps (storing the data inside db engine) and capitalising on SSRS R2 map capabilities. I like. BigGrin

Maps can be downloaded ifrom most GIS web sites, regardless of you country of origin (not limited to US only).

Someone, please help me. I successfully registered the assembly SQLSpatialTools but when I run these statements to use the AffineTransform function I get this error:

Msg 243, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
Type AffineTransform is not a defined system type.

What is wrong with my system? As I mentioned above. All other steps worked without any issues.

Thanks,
Stan

Never mind my previous post. I ran the Register.sql on a wrong db. I was able to run all the sql statements after I ran Register.sql.

Step 3 seems to have issues

UPDATE tl_2008_us_state
SET BoundaryGeog = GEOGRAPHY::STGeomFromWKB(BoundaryGeom.MakeValid().STAsBinary(), 4326)
WHERE NAME NOT IN('Massachusetts', 'New Mexico', 'Wyoming', 'Montana', 'Texas', 'North Carolina', 'Arizona', 'Tennessee', 'Utah')

Msg 4121, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find either column "BoundaryGeom" or the user-defined function or aggregate "BoundaryGeom.MakeValid", or the name is ambiguous.

Cheers

Did you get any errors while importing the shapefile: tl_2008_us_state.shp ? From the error message, it looks like BoundaryGeom wasn't there in the table. Please double check the Geometry coumn's name.

I didn't actually. Not message, etc at all. A search of sys.objects in every database returns no results as well. On with the search..

I noticed while looking at the table structure for tl_2008_us_state that there is a column called geom and one called boundaryGeog. Just mentioning this because it is odd those two names are a cross between what is causing the current situation.

"geom" is the name you created during the import. I named it BoundaryGeom. BoundaryGeog is another field I added to the tl_2008_us_state table. geom is a Geometry field while BoundaryGeog is a geography field.

I changed BoundaryGeom to BoundaryGeog as seen below and now it throws the following:

UPDATE tl_2008_us_state
SET BoundaryGeog = GEOGRAPHY::STGeomFromWKB(BoundaryGeog.MakeValid().STAsBinary(), 4326)
WHERE NAME NOT IN('Massachusetts', 'New Mexico', 'Wyoming', 'Montana', 'Texas', 'North Carolina', 'Arizona', 'Tennessee', 'Utah')

Msg 6506, Level 16, State 10, Line 2
Could not find method 'MakeValid' for type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeography' in assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Types'

Cheers

Per your explanation of column names changing the statement as seen below resolves the issue.

UPDATE tl_2008_us_state
SET BoundaryGeog = GEOGRAPHY::STGeomFromWKB(Geom.MakeValid().STAsBinary(), 4326)
WHERE NAME NOT IN('Massachusetts', 'New Mexico', 'Wyoming', 'Montana', 'Texas', 'North Carolina', 'Arizona', 'Tennessee', 'Utah')

Cheers
