Spatial DataTypes in SQL Azure

Question

Shall SQL Azure support Spatial DataTypes (Geograpgy and/or Geometry)?
In pricing there is price for Business Edition, which is said to support CLR (in the future). Does it mean it shall support custom DataTypes? Is it near future (RTM) or just future :)

Answer 1

SQL Azure does not currently support CLR and as such, CLR data types such as Spatial are also not currently supported.  This is something we are considering for the future but you will not see it in v1.
