Hi Robert,

Your query should at least read :

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

and maybe even

    update dbo.T_FTPSITE_RAWDATA_MKYMTDATA
    set sw_geometry =  'ST_POINT(' + CAST(longitude as varchar(25)) + ',' + 
CAST(latitute as varchar(25)) + ')'

The textual representation given to sw_geometry is parsed and executed (by a 
trigger), but it doesn't allow for variable
substitutions, so you need to extract and format the values. Did you remember 
to spatialize the table with "exec
sp_sw_spatialize_column ..." first ?

If you run the statement via a MapBasic program the command is as follows:

    hStmt = Server_Execute (hDBc,
        "update dbo.T_FTPSITE_RAWDATA_MKYMTDATA set sw_geometry =  'ST_POINT(' 
+ CAST(longitude as varchar(25)) + ',' +
CAST(latitute as varchar(25)) + ')'"
        )

i.e. just as it's stated above, just enclosed in MapBasic text apostrophes. A 
command in a command if you will.

You can use a stored procedure if you want, but the syntax of the update is the 
same.

Subject: MI-L creating points in spatial ware


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
