The new spatial data type support in SQL Server 2008 allows you to model two types of spatial data: Geometry and Geography. The Geometry data type is used to describe a planar (flat) system such as a building floor plan and the Geography data type is used
to describe an elliptical system such as the Earth. This hands-on Lab shows introduces the geometry and geography instance types such as points, lines, polygons, geometries, etc. and shows how to examine their properties and calculate and inspect several aspects
of each individual shape and its relationships between others.
