Does anyone know of any analytical tools that will allow me to visualise the spatial data (polygons) held in sql server geometry fields?
Something that'll let me add layers based on an sql query.. Just need to visualise and overlay the layers at the moment but any client side interaction/collision detection between the layers is a bonus.
I know arcgis supports sql server as a backend but it's too complex a solution for what I'm after. i want to use my own tsql queries that perform spatial functions on the database side. My understanding is that arcgis simply uses the db as a data store and
does all the computation in the application.
Obviously powermaps/ssrs/powerview aren't viable as they only support a lat/long when it comes to spatial
I've tried the SpatialWpf viewer demo app off codeproject but it's too buggy.
