Hi
We have a requirement to work out all the properties that live within a polygon.
The data is held as follows:
a) A list of (100,000+) properties in a table with the following attributes - Property_ID, Address, XREF, YREF
where the XREF and YREF are in the eastings, northings coordinates system (and also thus represent a point)
B) A set of polygon records in a table with the following attributes - Unique ID, THING_ID, Geometry
i.e. one THINGID can have several polygons (in Geometry format).
We need to be able to run a spatial query that will give us a dataset with two columns - THING_ID and Property_id
where each record in this data set represents a property that lives within one or more of the polygons for the thing identified by THING_ID.
The sourcer database is SQL200 8R2, but we have SQL2012 available - to can make a copy if the SQL2012 has the spatial query features we need.
Any help much appreciated.
