ST_GEOMETRY in SQL Server

[HaniuHokkaido]

Dear all,

I have never found the reason WHY ST_GEOMETRY IS NOT SUPPORTED in Ms SQL Server. All RDBMS can have ST_GEOMETRY except SQL Server. Why ? Anybody knows the reason ?

Thanks

There is no Esri ST_GEOMETRY implementation in SQL-Server because Microsoft does not support
the ability to create 3rd-party SQL language extensions (aka "blades", "extenders", "cartridges").
If it were technically feasible, it would likely have been done.

Please do not double-post.
