I tried to execute this query on my SQL Server 2008 R2 instance:

UPDATE ITEMS
SET GEOG=geography::STPointFromText('POINT(0 90)', 4326);

SQL Server returned the following error:

System.FormatException: 24201: Latitude values must be between -90 and 90 degrees

I also tried POINT(0 89.99) and got the same error.

How do I set a point to be the North Pole?

  • SELECT geography::STPointFromText('POINT(0 90)', 4326) doesn't raise any errors for me. Dec 23, 2011 at 15:01

Try this instead, with (or without) decimal points

DECLARE @a geography
SET @a=geography::STPointFromText('POINT(0.0 90.0)', 4326)

if this works - then something wrong with the ITEMS table

Solved. the problem was raised by a trigger enabled on the table. the problem is that the trigger contain exactly the same code to update the GEOG field when GEO_LAT and LON field are updated... really strange but for now the problem is solved also without 0.0 and 90.0
