[fdo-users] SDF spatial index error

[Steve Stanton]

I'm new to FDO, trying to export some simple polygons to SDF (using the recent FDO 3.6 that's bundled with FDO Toolbox 1.0b4).

Everything seems to be proceeding swimmingly, then it just fails with an exception that says "SDF spatial index error". It appears to be running out of some resource, since the polygon where the failure occurs is different each time I try it.

It looks like the same problem has been logged as ticket #364 (see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/fdo-trac/2008-July/001177.html), but it seems to have fallen off the radar. Which suggests I must be doing something a bit wrong.

I'm currently creating a new IInsert command for each polygon (I realize there are some bulk processing options, but I thought I'd try to keep it simple). So my next step will be to check whether bulk processing will side-step the issue. My concern is whether that too might hit some resource utilization issue down the road.

Any insights?
