How to perform STIntersect between a polygon and point geometryfile?

Question

What I have so far:

select Metro.Object_ID 
from Geocoding_tab.dbo.Part1_Part2_Combined_Final as paypal
    ,Object_id.dbo.All_Combined_9_Metros as Metro
where paypal.geom.STIntersect(Metro.GEOM) = 1;

Answer 1

You can amend the query to use JOIN syntax

SELECT Metro.Object_ID 
FROM
    Geocoding_tab.dbo.Part1_Part2_Combined_Final as paypal
INNER JOIN 
    Object_id.dbo.All_Combined_9_Metros as Metro ON paypal.geom.STIntersects(Metro.GEOM) = 1;

EDIT - following error shown in comments below

You can use the STIsValid Method to detect if you have shape that's invalid. The method will return 0 if invalid.

The MakeValid Method will fix invalid shape data

for example:

UPDATE table SET geom = geom.MakeValid() where geom.STIsValid() = 0

Note

As the error suggests, the MakeValid could alter your shape in a way that you might consider incorrect, depending on the original problem with the shape. So you should confirm that you're happy with the "corrected" shape before proceeding.
