First CTP and spatial

I just download and install first CTP. When I execute query

Code Snippet

select * from sys.types

i don't see any spatial data types?

May be i do something wrong? Or spatial unsupported in first CTP?

Spatial data feature is not included in the June CTP. The demo at Tech-Ed is based on a non-CTP build.

Hope this helps!

No, this is not available in the first CTP. For a list of features in the CTP, open Books Online and search for " What's New". There's a What's New (Database Engine), What's New (Reporting Services), etc. topic for each SQL Server component that describes the new features available in the CTP with links to the relevant topics.

|||Can you give us a time estimate when this WILL be included ;-)|||I've seen a similar question here already, and the correct answer is: When it's finished. Microsoft develop using a different strategy now, they include features when they seem to be ready for the market, so as far as I've understood the situation no new features are officially scheduled for a specific release or a specific date.|||

The spatial functionality I demo'ed at TechEd is not part of CTP3 or the upcoming CTP4. We cannot give an official delivery date yet, but we hope to have it available after CTP4. ;-)
