SQL Server Spatial for Developers and DBAs
Don't show just boring tables and charts. Bring your information to life by adding spatial data.
Course Summary
Have you heard that SQL Server has spatial capabilities but don't know how to use them?
Do you still think that spatial data is all just about maps? (Hint: It's not)
Does your data include addresses or locations of people or things?
Have you wondered if adding spatial options into your application would bring your data or analytics to life?
Have you started to try to use SQL Server spatial but aren't confident at working with it?
If any of these apply, this course is for you! And as well as detailed instruction, the course also offers optional practical exercises and quizzes to reinforce your learning.
