  • RE: T-SQL: Why “It Depends”

    When the developers ask already what's the best solution, then that's a good sign even if the answer is not so easy.

    I couldn't agree more.

    Adrian, I have nothing against those two approaches you listed. At a glance, they appear perfectly workable. Please understand that no techniques were deliberately excluded, other...

  • RE: Spatial Data Geomertry

    No problem. Declare the variable as geometry and use your x-y values. The polygon can have irregular sides and the area calculation should still work.

    There are several approaches to solving the "get all columns of only one row from a group" problem.

    Good luck. If that situation doesn't change, then every time you use a temp table you are going to have to use hints. Not good...

  • RE: Nested Loop Joins on Temp Tables

  • RE: Spatial Data Geomertry

    Sure, just use the STArea() method. Here's an example from Books online.

    DECLARE @g geography;

    SET @g = geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((-122.358 47.653, -122.348 47.649, -122.348 47.658, -122.358 47.658, -122.358 47.653))', 4326);

    SELECT...
