MS SQL Server / JDBC

Hi,

I'am wondering if i need a SQLServerDataStore to connect to MS SQLServer with Spatial Data or if it is also possible to use the JDBCDatastore to connect to SQLServer and to get i.e. a Map which is stored on SQL Server.
If so, that would mean i can connect to every Database with JDBC to get Spatial data. Is that possible ?

Thank you for reply

Alex
Thank you!

Hi Alex,

I might not understand your question correctly, but yes, for SQL Server
you need a special kind of datastore, one specific to SQL Server. There
is no generic JDBC datastore which can connect to an arbitrary spatial
database since the spatial functions differ quite a bit across databases.

The JDBC datastore classes have recently been rearchitected as
"jdbc-ng", which uses a dialect system (similar in nature to hibernate)
to isolate those parts which are specific to a particular database.

http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/branches/2.5.x/modules/unsupported/jdbc-ng/

The part specific to sql server is available here:

http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/branches/2.5.x/modules/unsupported/jdbc-ng/jdbc-sqlserver/

Hope that helps.

-Justin
