[dba-SQLServer] SHAPE question

I don't know, it worked well when the wizard wrote the sql statement,
but I had trouble getting the hang of it myself.
Maybe because it doesn't work in the gui tools (at least I can't get it
to work in EM or Access) so there's no visual way to write and poach,
like with SELECT and JOIN.  
But it is great when it works.

Steve,

Yeah, I read about its connection with VB6. It just seems odd that it's
something that's seemingly not emphasized. Is it just too arcane to be
popular?
