[fdo-internals] RE: MOTION: FDO RFC 34 - FDO Reader Access By Index

[Klain Qin]

Hi all,

While this RFC is being voted, I've updated it again in order to use access by index API more efficiently and correctly.

Previously in order to use access by index functions for FdoIFeatureReader or FdoIDataReader, the API users will have to know beforehand how index is mapping to property name. And mapping is different for different provider implementations like SqlLite/SDF and RDBMS. E.g. with the same FDO schema definition, SqlLite and RDBMS will arrange the property order returned from GetClassDefinition() differently:


a.       If you don't set selected property names be returned from an FdoISelect command



SqlLite provider will arrange the properties in the order: Identity property -> Geometry property -> the left will be arranged in the order of how they are added into the class definition, like ID -> geometry -> datetime-> double

For RDBMS provider the order is: identity property -> the left is ordered by the first character of the property name like ID -> datetime-> double -> geometry



b.      If you do set selected property names to be returned from an FdoISelect command



SqlLite provider will respect the order of how they are added to selected properties.

SDF provider will respect the order of corresponding properties defined in the original class definition(without setting selected properties)

So to resolve this inconvenience, RFC 34 is updated again to add another function for getting the index of a specific property name. Now both of the property name and index related functions are moved to FdoIReader as they are needed for both FdoIFeatureReader and FdoIDataReader.
FdoString* GetPropertyName(FdoInt32 index);
FdoInt32 GetPropertyIndex(FdoString* propertyName);
Can you take a look again at this RFC?
