Try this one:

SELECT geometry::Parse('POLYGON((

4 0, 0 0, 3 2, 1 2, 3 4, 1 4, 3 6, 2 6,

4 8, 6 6, 5 6, 7 4, 5 4, 7 2, 5 2, 8 0, 4 0

))')

UNION ALL

SELECT geometry::Parse('POLYGON((

2.5 0, 3 -1, 5 -1, 5.5 0, 2.5 0

))')

UNION ALL

SELECT geometry::Parse('POLYGON((

4 7.5, 3.5 7.25, 3.6 7.9, 3.1 8.2, 3.8 8.2,

4 8.9, 4.2 8.2, 4.9 8.2, 4.4 7.9, 4.5 7.25, 4 7.5

))')

UNION ALL

SELECT geometry::Point(

RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 5 +1.5,

RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 6, 0

).STBuffer(0.3)

FROM master.dbo.spt_values

WHERE type = 'P' AND number BETWEEN 1 AND 20;

Merry Christmas for you , Steeve and for every posters on this discussion.

Knowing Steve's humor , I have only 2 possibilities ; the Christmas tree and the reindeer, the 1st one seemed me the most probable one. So thanks for these points.

Sorry to be so late but I was busy with the visit of our elder son , everybody was here for our 1st Christmas in Britany ...

Arnie , happy Christmas for this beautiful Christmas tree.

A solution more complicated than the Steve' one but to see it is a pleasure , I have to have a look at the geometry topic I have not used since 5 years.

I have not seen you on the forums , but it is true that we are not often on the same ones.

Not sure what this was supposed to be. It didn't seem to work on my 2008 R2.

Works in 2008R2 -BUT you have to view the 'Spatial Results' tab.

Ahhhh. How cute is that...

It's working on SQL Server2014 Express and I have looked at the Spatial Results panel ( between the Results and Messages panels )

The "order by" clause misses!

Try this:

declare @image as table (

row_id tinyint

primary key clustered (row_id desc)

);

insert into @image(row_id)

values(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)

select

case

when max(i.row_id) over() - i.row_id > 1 then replicate(' ', max(i.row_id) over() - 2 - i.row_id) + replicate('*',i.row_id) + replicate('*',i.row_id-1)

else replicate(' ', max(i.row_id) over() - 3) + '|'

end img

from @image i
