Spatial Definition Query - Spatial operations other than intersect

[Bud]

It looks like the only spatial operation available for spatial definition queries is intersect. I'm wondering if other spatial operations would be beneficial, such as the equivalent of what's available in Select By Location.

Bud:

Have you tried to integrate the Spatial Definition Query into a GIS service?  I'm curious if services support this functionality at initial release.

@MichaelVolz GIS services aren't something I work with much; I'm more of a Pro user.

But I did notice this:

To answer you question, unfortunately we won't be able to support publishing a layer with spatial clause in its active definition query in the first release. We will continue working on it and hope to support sharing in a future release.

Sharing layers with definition queries

When a layer is shared as a feature layer or within a map image layer, only the active definition query is retained and honored. All other inactive definition queries are dropped.

If the query contains a spatial clause, an error is returned. See 00428: The definition query spatial clause is not supported by the server for more information.

I would love, among other things, a "Within Distance" option.
