Question

I need help with this. I am looking for a complete TSQL code. (no c++/C#)

1. define 32 points around a central point forming a quasi circle with a given radius in miles.

2. Check the 32 above points against a given point to see if it is included inside the geo-fence.

Thanks
JJ

Answer 1

You should look into using SQL Server 2008’s spatial types, specifically geometry. To do what you’re asking, you would do the following:

1. Create a point using STGeomFromText.
2. Buffer your point using STBuffer() to create a circle.
3. Use STIntersects() to determine if other points are within your circle.
