<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I started work on an
FDO provider for OGR. I have posted a preview binary

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a Win32
binary, compiled with ODBC and Oracle Spatial (OCI.dll required)
support.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The source code, so
that you can add in support for other data sources or compile on
Linux, is here:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far I have
(successfully) tested the following data sources:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>*
SHP</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* MapInfo
files</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Oracle
Spatial</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* ESRI personal
geodatabase (.mdb, via the ODBC driver)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial
size=2>The functionality gaps are:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* You can only read
(no insert/update/delete).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* No support for
Intersects spatial query, needed for feature selection when using the AJAX
viewer (I hope to have this working soon). Envelope query works
though.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Coordinate systems
are not always recognized by MapGuide, requiring some dancing around with the
map setup to get the map to display.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>* When connecting to
Oracle, you may see a '~' instead of a '.' in the names of some of your tables
when shown in Studio. Don't worry about that, it's
fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=579151916-12062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The posted
build may be unstable and/or not working for your particular data -- it has
2 days of development in it so far.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
