Why does the map chart only load in part of the SQL Server spatial data?

Problem:

Why does the map chart only load in part of the SQL Server spatial data?


Solution:

Follow the instructions in the Wiki article to create a view for the sample data set in the database, and create a default information model for it in Information Designer. Then Open data from the information link. The issue is that only some of the geometry data (shapes) are loaded in the map. See the following screenshot.
User-added image
The geometry data is rendered with different WKB types in Spotfire. Currently, Spotfire only supports 6 WKB types:

  • Point
  • LineString, Polygon
  • MultiPoint
  • MultiLineString
  • MultiPolygon
Spotfire does not render the rest of the types:
  • GeometryCollection
  • CircularString
  • CompoundCurve
  • CurvePolygon
  • MultiCurve
  • MultiSurface
  • Curve
  • Surface
  • PolyhedralSurface
  • Tin
  • Triangle
For example, the WKB type of Alabama, one of the not rendered states, is GeometryCollection. Additionally, if you follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting Note to change the "Geometry" Column Element -->Expression: %1.STAsBinary() [default is %1], you may get the following error: 
Error message: Unable to import data. See the details for more information.

 The reason you get the error "Failed to execute query: Cannot call methods on varbinary(max). (HRESULT: 80131500)" is you are trying to use STAsBinary() on a column where you already have executed the same function on earlier. So it is no longer a Geometry column and therefore does not have that function available to it. Work with your DBA/GIS team to assure that your data uses one of the supported WKBType geometry types (Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString and MultiPolygon).
