Gavin,

Sounds interesting...

It seems to be, but please confirm if my understanding of this
new ideas is correct.

As I understand, the idea is to make it possible to override
behavior of FdoSmPhSpatialContextGroupWriter::MakeRow() and use
provider-specific column names there.

Am I correct?

If my understanding is correct, it seems I need function
FdoSmPhMgr::GetSpatialContextGroupWriter() as virtual
+ I need to define PostGIS-specific
specialization of FdoSmPhSpatialContextGroupWriter class.

Am I following you?

Cheers
