Demo: Introduction to SQL Server 2008 Spatial Data Types

This demo shows how to use the SQL Server spatial data types with data from the Mondial database, which is a sample database that contains geo-political facts about countries. It includes several tables with latitude and longitude information. The demo shows how to use this information to construct a new column of type Geography and then shows how to perform SQL spatial queries on this data using the spatial methods of the Geography data type.
