Please can someone post a SQL function to convert easting/northing to longitude/latitude. I know it\'s incredibly complicated but I haven\'t found anyone who has documented it i
I needed the same function, and javascript made it difficult to interact with the DB. I have converted your JS to PHP and this could be more useful when updating your database - ie: query table, loop through result set, call function, update table.

I've been struggling with this one for a while. I had a lot of northing/easting points in OSGB36 that have to be converted on the fly on a regular basis. Please note that the UDF below converts northings/eastings in OSGB36 (Ordnance Survey) projection to latitude/longitude in WGS84 projection so they can be used in Google Maps.

I was struggling with this.... For me the best option was to use this python library https://pypi.org/project/convertbng/ hope it helps. just ask anything I might help.
I have developed a library in .NET to be called from transact sql Converts WGS84/UTM coordinates to Latitude and Longitude
It does just the opposite, but as it uses CoordinateSharp you can download the code and change it easily to convert from lat/long to wgs84 instead.
You can download it from github:
https://github.com/j-v-garcia/UTM2LATITUDE
usage:
SELECT dbo.UTM2LATITUDE(723399.51,4373328.5,'S',30) AS Latitude, dbo.UTM2LONGITUDE(723399.51,4373328.5,'S',30) AS Longitude
result:
39,4805657453054 -0,402592727245112
<param name="XUTM">pos UTM X</param>
<param name="YUTM">pos UTM Y</param>
<param name="LatBand">Latitude band grid zone designation letter (see http://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm) </param>
<param name="LongBand">Longitude band grid zone designation number (see http://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm) </param>
I ended up using the following javascript functions to convert the values. I know it's not a SQL solution but it did the job for me.

If anyone's interested in non-SQL solution I strongly recommend using this http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/php/gridref.php PHP/JavaScript class.
One important thing to mention here is the library supports Helmert transformation.
