NOTE This functionality affects geospatial feature data only. For information about
linking records in an external database to objects in a drawing, see
Overview of
Linking Database Records to Objects
(page 522). For information about moving
data between DWG and geospatial formats, see
Migrating DWG Data to GIS (page
628).
To create a data store for SQL Server Spatial
1 On the Task Pane, click either the
Map Explorer (page 2068) or Display
Manager
(page 2060) tab.
2 Click Data ➤ Connect To Data.
3 In the Data Connections By Provider list in the Data Connect window,
select Add SQL Server Spatial Connection).
4 In the right-hand pane, enter a connection name (the name you will call
this data store in AutoCAD Map 3D) and the information required to
connect to the data store, for example, a service name.
NOTE Do not use the same name you used when you created a user for the
data store
(page 584).
5 Log into the service for the store, using either Windows authentication
or SQL Server authentication.
6 In the Data Store list, select Add New Data Store (or type a name that
does not appear in the list already) and press Enter.
You are asked if you want to create a new data store. Click Yes.
7 In the Create Data Store Dialog Box (page 1747) for this provider, enter the
settings for the new data store.
Specify whether the new data store will be FDO-enabled or not by selecting
or clearing Use FDO Enabled Schema. FDO-enabled data stores include
additional FDO metadata, but otherwise use native SQL Server schema
capabilities.
8 Click OK.
If the data store is created successfully, a confirmation message prompts
you to edit its schema. Use the Schema Editor to create (page 596) or import
(page 606) the schema for the data store.
