Spatial Data Types

For MS SQL server, Entity Developer for Entity Framework supports the following spatial data types: Geography and Geometry.

Spatial data allows representing locations on a map as well as points, geometric shapes, and other data which rely on a coordinate system.

The two main types of spatial data are Geography and Geometry. Geography data take the ellipsoid nature of the Earth into account while Geometry bases all measurements and calculations on Euclidean data.
