[fdo-internals] Defects in PostGIS provider

[Jason Birch]

Hi Chuck, 

Thanks for the email, that's great, and I am definitely committed to
getting the PostGIS provider as production-ready as possible so your
contributions are very welcome.  

Typically we would vote to open up commit access to the SVN after a
history of code contributions, and taking a vote on the mailing list.  I
think we'd also need a signed contributor's agreement.

Would you be willing to submit the first few changes as .patch files
against Trac?  

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/

If so, create new tickets for each bug, and then attach a patch file
against that fixes the problem, and send a note to the -internals list.
Then one of the committers (maybe Haris or Mateusz) will review and
apply against trunk.

Jason

Hi Everybody,

How do I go about submitting defect reports against the PostGIS provider
in trunk\Providers\PostGIS? I've downloaded and built the code to track
down some problems I was having, and I've uncovered what look like three
issues with the provider itself that are blocking me from proceeding
with
development:

1) InsertCommand::Execute can only insert NULL geometry values
successfully.
This is the worst of the three defects, because there's no way to work
around it. Internally the code is building a non-parameterized statement
string and the WKB format fields are being interpreted by PostGIS as
long integers, which causes insertion to fail.
2) ApplySchemaCommand::Execute always issues CREATE TABLE statement(s) -
it cannot be used to delete a feature class.
3) Some internal checks are case-sensitive after Postgres has changed
the case to all lower, so (for example) a newly-created schema with a
multi-case name cannot be accessed or used with the name it was created
under.

P.S. I would be interested in helping to fix these if I knew my efforts
could be integrated into the code stream. What process is in place for
getting write access to the Subversion vault?
