color=#0000ff size=2>It sounds like an Oracle (spatial or aspatial) and SQL
Server provider will only be available from Autodesk as part of its upcoming
MapGuide Enterprise product. Perhaps somebody else in the developer
community will write different providers to be available either commercially or
as part of this open source project. I have clients that store all of
their data in Oracle Spatial and this works great with MapGuide 6.5, so they are
obviously waiting for this as well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
