[mapguide-users] Unmanaged SHP File Locations

[Jason Birch]

Sounds like a bug to me...
 
I would strongly encourage you to submit this to the bug tracker
following the instructions here:
 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/SubmitTicket
 
along with the steps that you followed, and why you have drawn the
conclusions you have about the cause of the performance issue.
 
Because managed SHP data sources are one-per-directory, I wonder if this
is an underlying flaw in the FDO provider.

Why do unmanaged FeatureSources respond slower as more files get added
to the directory location? We have a FeatureSource called SHPDefualt for
example. The zooms take longer as well as other functions. It seems when
you query a Feature Source is does not hit the DBF you want directly it
seems to fiddle with everything in the unmanaged directory. We love the
concept of a folder that contains all SHP files. One location is great
for batch processes and great for editing new layers. It is just simple
for customers to understand. For sure easier to back up and recreate.
Will this always be a performance killer?

 

 

Is this a bug? Will this be fixed soon?

 

 

This really takes the complication out of knowing what the heck is going
on in the repository. Here is XML Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 

<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">

<Provider>OSGeo.SHP</Provider> 

<Parameter>

<Name>DefaultFileLocation</Name> 

<Value>C:\SHPFILES</Value> 

</Parameter>

</FeatureSource>
