Hi Orest,<br><br>thanks for your info.<br><br>We are currently developing a system at my place, where we use the SQL/MM WKB as the internal<br>geometry protocol. <br><br>Oracle SDO do have support for SQL/MM WKB/WKT (and also has adopted other parts of the standard), <br>
at least from version 11g.<br><br>I think there are some work done in PostGIS aswell.<br><br>A WKB-talking FDO would be perfect in our situation :)<br><br><br>-- Øyvind<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 2:15 PM, Orest Halustchak <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:orest.halustchak@autodesk.com">orest.halustchak@autodesk.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

that extension as it is an OGC extension as well. OGC hadn’t defined it
yet when the FGF spec was done, which is why they’re not exactly the
same. The topic came up a while ago as part of a futures discussion, see <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoOGCSFSGeometry" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoOGCSFSGeometry</a>,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> If we added support, we would have to be backwards compatible
with all the existing FGF-based geometry data. But, moving forward to support
the OGC extensions would allow us to be compatible with products that are
generating data using the new OGC WKB format.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any plans to adopt the WKB extension in ISO SQL/MM
into FDO ?<br>
<br>
This version of WKB/WKT solves most of what FGF tries to do, such as Z / M
ordinates and circular geometries.<br>
As of the one byte misalignment, this can be worked around by padding bytes.<br>
