title: operations with Spatial data from Google Maps in SQL Server 2008 r2
body: <p>How can i store a rectangle - consisting of 2 points NorthEast and SouthWest each point is a coordinate of lattitude and longitude </p>
  
  <p>And add a circle consisting of a center ( lat-lng ) and a radius (int/float value)</p>
  
  <p>what is the best way to store and later on query if a lat-lng is within the bounds of a any circle or rectangle ?
  also , can i store an array of those ? say 10 rectangles and 5 circles in a single record ?
  Can i use Nhibernate to ease the pain?</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this seems noobish , i have never done anything with spatial data and i don't even have clue from where to start.
  Any samples and pointers are helpful ! 
  Thanks in advance.</p>
