 if you omit specifying the SRID value in the DATA section the diver will use SRID=0 when defining 
 the search shapes.
 
+Selecting the type of the geometry column
+-----------------------------------------
+
+For the geometry columns MSSQL supports 2 data types: "geometry" and "geography". 
+By default the driver considers the type of the geometry column is "geometry". 
+In case if the type of the geometry column is "geography" we must specify the 
+data type in the DATA section explicitly, like:
+
+::
+
+  DATA "ogr_geometry(geography) from rivers USING UNIQUE ogr_fid USING SRID=4326"
+
 The expected location on the plugin dll
