At least I hope so. If not, I'm game ;-) Dave,

I'd really like to see the new Microsoft Data Services API support spatial data types - then we'd have a REST API and could round trip smoothly. If that does not come to pass, I guess we could all band together and cool a REST API for SQL 2008. Cheers, Dave Nate,
