Hi

It's possibly and I'm using such a solution in production, but there is
some potential problems/cevats

It's not nessesary with two instances of SQL server, but just to databases
on the same instance.

One with a spatialware table (upload it with easyloader an remember to
create a unique integer index - SW_member) and another with your attribute
data.

The next step is to create a view in the spatialware spatialized database,
but with MI_PRINX as alias for your spatialware tables unique integer index
(normaly SW_member).

Its imple to get tables form another databse on the same server instance,
just prefix with the name

Here is an exsample where  ESDHGoProStatistik is my attribute database (a
dump from a Notes document managment solution)

   CREATE VIEW dbo.aktivesager
   AS
   SELECT b.journalnr, b.sag, b.kontor, b.dok_dato, b.brev,
       a.SW_MEMBER AS MI_PRINX, a.SW_GEOMETRY,
       a.MI_STYLE
   FROM dbo.BAGSAGERESDH a INNER JOIN
       ESDHGoProStatistik.dbo.aktive b ON a.NotesID = b.vNotesID

The next step is to add a entry to mapinfo.mapcatalog in the  spatialware
spatialized database

You has to add the name and can clone the rest from the the ordenary
spatialware table

      14,3  AKTIVESAGER dbo   SW_GEOMETRY 452939,907752     6229141,685627
   553484,492933  6335426,520102    "Earth Projection 8, 28, ""m"", 9, 0,
   0.9996, 500000, 0 Bounds (-7746230.6469, -9998287.38389) (8746230.6469,
   9998287.38389)"      Symbol (34,16744448,10)  Pen (1,2,0)  Pen
   (2,2,6356832)  Brush (8,5308240,16777215)    NO_COLUMN   NO_COLUMN   1
   MI_STYLE

It works nice if relativly few records is returned, but we has found the
performance less satistactory with a large number of complex objekts - in
this case, we are using another appoach and is creating a new table based
on a view once a day and is creating normal r-trees for fats access.

Here is an exmple (and agin with a crossdatabase join) and we found it more
stable just to trunkate the table, instead of deleting it and creating a
new instance every night

   use VIROKASW

   --Drop Rtree-indexes for ejer-tabellen

   exec sp_sw_drop_rtree 'dbo', 'TBL_EJER', 'SW_GEOMETRY', 'mi_prinx'

   GO

   --Drop ejer-Tabel

   if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =
   object_id(N'[TBL_EJER]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
   TRUNCATE TABLE [TBL_EJER]

   GO

   use VIROKASW

   --update ejer-tabel
   INSERT INTO TBL_EJER ([ejer_navn] ,[ejer_conavn] ,
    [ejer_skoede_dato], [ejer_adr_beskyt],

   (SELECT  distinct OIS_Viborg.dbo.CO11700T.EJER_NAVN,

   FROM OIS_Viborg.dbo.CO11700T) as A
   WHERE  b.KOMNR = A.KOMMUNE_NR AND
    b.komejd = A.EJD_NR and
    A.EJD_NR > 0


   go
   --Create Rtree-indexes
   exec sp_sw_create_rtree 'dbo', 'TBL_EJER', 'SW_GEOMETRY',

We are quite satisfied with spatialware (there is no need to a lot of
performancetuning like SDE or Orcale and we are using significant less
ressources on DBA duties, than my colleagues who is running Oracle), but I
must also admit, that we has seen two problems with Spatialware, one is a
performance issue, where both SDE and Oracle is significantly faster to
redarw a large number og objects (could it be the Spatialware/Mapinfo ODBC
bottelneck and limit of 2 Mbit/s ???), the other is a curser error, where
the reult is, that spatialware stops running and its nessesary to restart
the SQL server (but i must also admit, that we sometimes has a heavy load
on our SQL server)

I have a complicated database that has many cross linkages in it.  It is
currently in Access and is linked to MapInfo TABs.  I am considering moving
the TABs and the attribute database into Spatialware for SQL Server to help
maintain data integrity.

My question is how to handle the separate database that has the attributes?
I could make one instance of SQL Server for the database, and load the TABs
via easyloader into a separate instance of SQL Server.  BUT at that point I
will have a spatial database and a separate attribute database.  Has anyone
ever tried linking the two databases together?  Note that the attribute
database is too complex to turn into a flat table of attributes.  Any hints
or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
