sys.spatial_index_tessellations (Transact-SQL)

object_id

int

ID of the object on which the index is defined. Each (object_id, index_id) pair has a corresponding entry in sys.spatial_indexes.

index_id

int

ID of the spatial index in which the indexed column is defined

tessellation_scheme

sysname

Name of the tessellation scheme, one of:

GEOMETRY_GRID

GEOGRAPHY_GRID

bounding_box_xmin

float(53)

X-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the bounding box, one of:

NULL = Not applicable for a given tessellation scheme (such as GEOGRAPHY_GRID)

n = If tessellation_scheme is GEOMETRY_GRID, the x-min coordinate value

Note

The coordinates defined by the bounding box parameters are interpreted for each object according to its Spatial Reference Identifier (SRID).

bounding_box_xmax

float(53)

X-coordinate of the upper-right corner of the bounding box, one of:

NULL = Not applicable for a given tessellation scheme (such as GEOGRAPHY_GRID)

n = If tessellation_scheme is GEOMETRY_GRID, the x-max coordinate value

bounding_box_ymax

float(53)

Y-coordinate of upper-right corner of the bounding box, one of:

NULL = Not applicable for a given tessellation scheme (such as GEOGRAPHY_GRID)

n = If tessellation_scheme is GEOMETRY_GRID, the y-max coordinate value

level_1_grid
