import_from_gis()
is trying to get the geometry from the table, which doesn't exist.
library(councilR)
options(councilR.uid = "mc\\rotenle",
councilR.pwd = keyring::key_get("MetC"))
tracts2010_spatial <- import_from_gis(
query = "GISLibrary.dbo.Census2010TigerTract",
.quiet = TRUE
)
tracts2010_popHH <- import_from_gis(
query = "GISLibrary.dbo.Census2010PopulationTract",
.quiet = TRUE
)

Please assign Sam Limerick to this issue (I'll try to assign myself but not sure if I have access).
When attempting to bring in block-level spatial and population info, the first code block here worked, but the second did not:
blocks2010_spatial <- import_from_gis( query = "GISLibrary.dbo.Census2010TigerBlock", .quiet = TRUE )
blocks2010_popHH <- import_from_gis( query = "GISLibrary.dbo.Census2010PopulationBlock", .quiet = TRUE )
I didn't really expect the second to work, as that file is a Enterprise Geodatabase Table and not a spatial file, but adding some helper code to the vignette may assist future CouncilR users who want to quickly bring in GIS library information that isn't spatial.
