Best thing about SQL Server Spatial?

It's free! So says the CIO of e-spatial.

Spatial components of SQL Server used to be available only as third-party plug-ins, but spatial functionality is now integrated into the new version.

“With no added cost, which is brilliant,” says [CIO Matti] Seikkula.

From a relational data perspective, the difference between the older SQL Server 2005 and the 2008 version is not huge, but from a spatial perspective, the new built-in functionalities open up new opportunities for companies, without them having to invest money, says Seikkula.
