<div>This is somewhat irrelevant, but for history's sake:</div><div><br></div>Both of these providers were initially written by the same person and funded jointly by Refractions Research and the City of Nanaimo. The original developer hit a wall with the Generic RDBMS framework (used for the MySQL, SQL Server Spatial and ODBC providers) as he was nearing the home stretch and started over. Unfortunately, this led to a resource crunch and this second attempt never reached the desired level of stability despite some valiant efforts by subsequent maintainers. <div>
<br></div><div>Autodesk recently dusted off the code from first abandoned attempt, added the features that were required for it to be usable, and made it stable. I'm really glad that they chose to take this on, and am happy to see that FDO (and MapGuide) now have a decent answer for PostGIS users.<div>
