All,
(using SQL Server 2012, ArcMap 10.1)
I have created a SQL spatial statement to test out how a) the union function works, and b) how creating a view of this data will work with ArcGIS.
a) the function i'm testing is:
SELECT GEOMETRY::UnionAggregate(shape)FROM CENSUS_TRACTS_2010_2877WHERE PCT_ASIAN > 5...which gives the following correct result:
b) our database would greatly benefit using a spatial view of our boundary data (using a union, etc.) to display boundaries to our internal users as a single table.
To accomplish this, it seems that a spatial view would be the best use case, as that gives us the option to edit/maintain one file, and the view will serve up a fresh version of the boundaries.
Problem is, when I create the view in SQL Server, it will not show up in ArcMap, and I get the error:
Warning: Could not add the specified data object to the map.
I think I might be creating the view incorrectly, as this is the field properties ArcMap sees from the view:
...which doesn't seem correct.
Can anyone point me to a place that describes how to create / register / use a spatial view in ArcMap / SQL Server 2012?
Thanks!
