Very Spatial Wishes

Last year I encountered this T-SQL script on a MSDN Forum. Run it in SQL Management Studio (not Visual Studio!), and select 'Spatial Results':

-- Prepare the scene

CREATE TABLE #ChristmasScene (

  item varchar(32),

  shape geometry);

 

-- Put up the tree and star

INSERT INTO #ChristmasScene VALUES

('Tree', 'POLYGON((4 0, 0 0, 3 2, 1 2, 3 4, 1 4, 3 6, 2 6, 4 8, 6 6, 5 6, 7 4, 5 4, 7 2, 5 2, 8 0, 4 0))'),

('Base', 'POLYGON((2.5 0, 3 -1, 5 -1, 5.5 0, 2.5 0))'),

('Star', 'POLYGON((4 7.5, 3.5 7.25, 3.6 7.9, 3.1 8.2, 3.8 8.2, 4 8.9, 4.2 8.2, 4.9 8.2, 4.4 7.9, 4.5 7.25, 4 7.5))')

 

-- Decorate the tree

DECLARE @i int = 0, @x int, @y int;

WHILE (@i < 20)

BEGIN

  INSERT INTO #ChristmasScene VALUES

    ('Ball' + CAST(@i AS varchar(8)), geometry::Point(RAND() * 5 +1.5, RAND() * 6, 0).STBuffer(0.3))

  SET @i = @i + 1;

END
