Geometry object size when exchanging of WKT/WKB encoded geometries.
Introduction The ordinates stored in an geometry objects, across all spatial data types do not have any rounding applied to their values. This is one

Geocoding Points Against a Grid of Cells/Tiles With/out Spatial Operators
This article shows how to geocode points objects against grid cells without using spatial operators. The article also shows how to use space curve values such as generated by a Morton key algorithm as grid cell ids and thus geocodes.

Using a GeometryCollection as an Array for TSQL (Stored Procedure) Development.
The lack of an array datatype in TSQL can be overcome for geometry processing by use of a GeometryCollection as a data type and a set of methods to manipulate it.

Identifying Quadrilateral Polygon Geometries in SQL Server Spatial
In some situations Quadrilateral polygon geometries in SQL Server Spatial can affect processing results. The best example of this is the identification of CircularStrings in polygon geometries. If quadrilateral objects are not identified, they end up being incorrectly converted. This function helps identify such polygon objects.
