| Mar 24, 2016 at 16:18 | comment | added | MappaGnosis | I'm more of a PostGIS guy, but according to the SQL Server documentation: "The spatial reference identification system is defined by the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) standard, which is a set of standards developed for cartography, surveying, and geodetic data storage. This standard is owned by the Oil and Gas Producers (OGP) Surveying and Positioning Committee." So - I take that to mean (like PosGIS) the answer is 'yes' (and if you don't define it - it looks like the default is EPSG 4326 - aka WGS84) | |
| Mar 24, 2016 at 16:15 | comment | added | Jyler | So if I am creating a spatial table directly in a SQL Server database, does it follow that I can set SRID = the EPSG code for the spatial reference I am assigning? | |
