This week we examine Microsoft's announcement that the next release of SQL Server, SQL Server 2008, expected next year, will include support for spatial data. We consider that the announcement was made at Microsoft's first Business Intelligence Conference and how that may impact the product's development. We also look at how the new technology will play in a market crowded with databases, both commercial and open source that support spatial data.

You guys are really on top of some great things coming soon into the Location Intelligence world courtesy Microsoft. Thanks for the discussion!

I am waiting for more news on this front, from Microsoft, ESRI, and vendors working on integrating solutions. I really hope the ESRI-Microsoft applications interoperability matures gracefully, and does not go the way ESRI-Oracle interoperability has worked in the past.
