Why all database Applications need SQL Server Spatial

A majority of database applications have a spatial component, ranging from an address field to a GPS location. This session shows techniques on how this data can be prepared, processed and utilized for spatial quering in SQL Server 2008. We will introduce the SQL Spatial functionality and present examples on geocoding, data loading, spatial quering and visualizing the spatial results on Bing Map.
