This tutorial allows you to experiment with some of the spatial features in SQL Anywhere. To do so, you will first load an ESRI shapefile into your sample database (demo.db) to give you some valid spatial data to experiment with.

The tutorial is broken into the following parts:

• Lesson 1: Install additional units of measure and spatial reference systems
• Lesson 2: Download the ESRI shapefile data
• Lesson 3: Load the ESRI shapefile data
• Lesson 4: Query spatial data
• Lesson 5: Output spatial data to SVG
• Lesson 6: Project spatial data
