Re: [udig-devel] UDig with SQL Server
|
I think there was just a beta release of sql server 2008 which includes spatial extensions.
Note that on the GeoServer list someone recently posted that they wrote a datastore that works with some open source spatial extensions from codeplex. See
http://www.nabble.com/MSSQL-Spatial-data-source-tf2606721.html (GeoServer and uDig use the same data access layer) That should provide a very good basis for the new sql server extensions, are both are based on the simple features for sql specification, afaik.
It looks like the guy in the thread tried to email the code to the list but it bounced. It'd be great if someone could email him and put the code in an issue, and maybe get it in to the unsupported section of GeoTools.

Up until very recently there has been not much point; I understand that
SQL Server has recently aquired some spatial mojo? Like with indexing
and so on?
I would start by heading over to the geotools project and talk about
making an SQLServer "DataStore" - where DataStore is the API we use to
talk to databases. On the bright side doing the work there means that
SQL Server can be used in a range of open source projects - including uDig.
