SQL Server Spatial Tools

[THalladay]

Can anyone tell me if the SQL Server Spatial Tools - CLR additions are pre-loaded (registered) on the SQL Server 2008 instances? (This is different then the pre-loaded SQL 2008 spatial objects).

If not, are we able to load them ourselves or request they be loaded?

Thanks!

...I don't think we have access to CLR additions.
Hopefully one of the DASP staff will chime-in with an official answer soon. ;-)
All the best,
Mark

Not supported sorry.

I looked at the project from the link you provided. The readme file states the following:

This package contains a single assembly, SQLSpatialTools.dll
This assembly can be included and used directly from a .NET
application, or can be registered and used from within SQL Server
2008.

This means you can try to upload SQLSpatialTools.dll to your bin folder on the server, follow the instruction in the readme file on how to edit and run Unregister.sql code.

Dmitri, that is a HUGE help! I didn't even think of that....

DASP, you guys rock!

Hi, I'm in the same boat with SQLSpatialTools. I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction on how I can use the library from the bin folder. I have stored procedures that use this library and i'm not sure how I can register it from the bin directory.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
