Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
I think you are right, there are not many places where the performance gain
would be significant -- but they do exist. Imagine a copy from one data source
to another, of a feature class with 100K features and 100 columns -- a common
situation with street network files. For each feature, for each property,
you would have to do a name->index lookup inside the reader provider
(SDF, SQLite, SHP or whatever other provider gets columns by index natively).
Such lookups do get costly once you have lots of columns.<br>
<br>
If given a choice between the RFC34 as it is now and not having access by index
at all, I would choose the latter -- i.e. I'd rather see the RFC withdrawn than
implemented in a way that will require API users to write more code to use it
than if they used access by name. Simply because if it's more work to use
access by index, I don't see people switching their code around to make use of
it.<br>

access<br>

><br>
> Previously in order to use access by index functions for FdoIFeatureReader<br>
> or FdoIDataReader, the API users will have to know beforehand how index is<br>
> mapping to property name. And mapping is different for different provider<br>
> implementations like SqlLite/SDF and RDBMS. E.g. with the same FDO schema<br>
> definition, SqlLite and RDBMS will arrange the property order returned
from<br>
> GetClassDefinition() differently:<br>
><br>
><br>
> a. If you don't set selected property names be
returned from an<br>
> FdoISelect command<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> SqlLite provider will arrange the properties in the order: Identity
property<br>
> -> Geometry property -> the left will be arranged in the order of
how they<br>
> are added into the class definition, like ID -> geometry ->
datetime-><br>
> double<br>
><br>
> For RDBMS provider the order is: identity property -> the left is ordered
by<br>
> the first character of the property name like ID -> datetime->
double -><br>
> geometry<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> b. If you do set selected property names to be
returned from an<br>
> FdoISelect command<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> SqlLite provider will respect the order of how they are added to selected<br>
> properties.<br>
><br>
> SDF provider will respect the order of corresponding properties defined in<br>
> the original class definition(without setting selected properties)<br>
><br>
> So to resolve this inconvenience, RFC 34 is updated again to add another<br>
> function for getting the index of a specific property name. Now both of
the<br>
> property name and index related functions are moved to FdoIReader as they<br>
> are needed for both FdoIFeatureReader and FdoIDataReader.<br>
> FdoString* GetPropertyName(FdoInt32 index);<br>
> FdoInt32 GetPropertyIndex(FdoString* propertyName);<br>
> Can you take a look again at this RFC?<br>
