[fdo-internals] RFC 23 for Review

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi Kenneth,

Good point on the OGR provider.  We should remove the reference to file-based providers since it is incorrect.

Currently, the implementation of these APIs are optional so we could do the problematic providers. Are you saying that we should make these APIs mandatory so that all provider writers now have to implement this?

Thanks
Tom

I disagree with your views that file-based providers do not have this problem.
Some of our customers have a folder with many tables.
This folder is accessed through the OGR provider.

The customers usually require that the folder is placed on network storage.
Enumerating and evaluating all files can cause significant delays.

I suggest that the RFC is updated to include all FDO providers.

Hi,

RFC 23 (http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FDORfc23) has been posted.  This RFC proposes APIs for retrieving feature class information without having to perform a full DescribeSchema.  The main benefit will be improved performance in applications connecting to RDBMS datasources.  Please review the proposal and reply to this list with your comments by July 15, 2008.

Thanks
Ronnie
