Feature Representation
Features are written to the database table with the same name as their feature type, and include geometry as well as attributes as defined on the DEF line.
Geometry Type | Description |
---|---|
mssql_spatial_none | no geometry |
mssql_spatial_point | point |
mssql_spatial_multipoint | collection of points |
mssql_spatial_linestring | straight line |
mssql_spatial_multilinestring | collection of straight lines |
mssql_spatial_circularstring | path consisting of one or more circular arcs |
mssql_spatial_compoundcurve | path consisting of straight lines and/or circular arcs |
mssql_spatial_polygon | polygon bounded by straight lines |
mssql_spatial_multipolygon | collection of polygons bounded by straight lines |
mssql_spatial_curvepolygon | polygon bounded by a combination of straight lines and/or circular arcs |
mssql_spatial_geometrycollection | collection of geometries, each of which can be any supported type, including other geometry collections |
Geometries may be 2D (X/Y), 3D (X/Y/Z), 2D + measures (X/Y/M), or 3D + measures (X/Y/Z/M).
