More on the issue:

I am confident that the references to the fields in the update command is part of the problem as if I use the command:

update dbo.T_FTPSITE_RAWDATA_MKYMTDATA set sw_geometry = 'ST_POINT(147.5,-21)'

I get a nice point for all my records

so it seems that I need to somehow make the update command use the column names - any solutions?

Also if there was a way of updating records that didn't have a spatial object would also be nice

eg. update dbo.T_FTPSITE_RAWDATA_MKYMTDATA set sw_geometry = 'ST_POINT(longitude,latitute)' where isNull(sw_geometry)

Hi all,

I have a csv table of data that includes x and y coordinate coordinates that I want to insert into a spatialware sql server database. That part is easy enough, but I want to then create the points on the server side.

This is the first time that I am trying to do object creation and manipulation on the server through spatialware - normally all of this is done through MI Pro.

I have inserted the data into the table on the server that has been created with easyloader (and then had the data deleted), and I get the records in OK. I am using an ado recordset, and on the program side I add all the data to the recordset and the do an update. THis doesn't allow me to create the spatial points as I add them to the recordset.

I thought I would then update the table with a command like this

update dbo.T_FTPSITE_RAWDATA_MKYMTDATA set sw_geometry = 'ST_POINT(longitude,latitute)'

where longitude and latitude are the fields that have the data for x and y coordinates expressed in the projection of that table.

It seems to run OK, but then when i open the table up in MapInfo, there are no objects in the table.

I am concerned that the field references won't carry through to the procedure.

Is this syntax right, or should I use a stored procedure?

Help,

thanks r
