Noticed this today... http://stevekass.com/2007/11/21/the-hemisphere-requirement/
Basically, in SQL Server 2008 Geography values (geography is the ellipsoidal "first-class citizen" type) are limited to a single hemisphere (<180 width and <90 height). Odd. Because I would think it'd be relatively easy to implement something with those same restrictions on top of postgis' geometry data type via some adding and subtracting past +/- 180 & +/-90. (IMHO a single-hemisphere limit is dumb, from my point of view the whole purpose of "geography" is to be able to represent large/interesting areas of the world) Rob :) _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
