Today at the Microsoft Business Intelligence Conference, Ted Kummert, VP
of the Storage Platform Division, introduced SQL Server 2008 (Katmai) in
his keynote [Press Release
<http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2007/may07/05-09KatmaiPR.mspx>
]. Scheduled to ship in 2008, Katmai will be the first version of SQL
Server to support spatial data and operations natively. Pretty cool!
Finally, support for Spatial as a first class data type with indexing.
...
* Spatial will be supported in the next release of SQL Server
(code named Katmai) as system data types
* Katmai is scheduled to ship in 2008 and will most likely be
called SQL Server 2008
* Katmai spatial will support two models: a "Flat Earth" planar
data type and a "Round Earth" geodetic data type
* The Flat Earth data type (GEOMETRY) will support the Open
Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Simple Features for SQL Specification with
support for approximately 70 spatial methods/functions
* There will be spatial indexes for both planar and geodetic data
types
