Discussion
Get the data for the column name or index specified as a Geography object. SQL::ResultSet::DataAsGeography(), will return a Microsoft::SQLServer::Types::SQLGeography object instantiated from the data retrieved from your database. The object is instantiated regardless of the database from which the data was retrieved.
This function works with GeogAsText() and GeogAsBinary(). For PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server you can select the column directly without using the portable SQL function. In some cases, the database does not return enough information to instantiate the object properly unless you wrap the column with either GeogAsText() or GeogAsBinary().
