[fdo-users] SQL 2008. View with JOINS. Not able to selectfeatures on the layer.

[Jason Birch]

Brent,
 
Do you think that the capabilities reporting change for #469 is non-invasive enough that it could be implemented prior to 3.4 release?  
 
If the provider already supports configuration, it looks to me like it would only require a couple lines in FdoRdbmsSqlServerConnectionCapabilities.h and FdoRdbmsSqlServerConnectionCapabilities.cpp.  I don't know enough about C++ to know whether overriding these inherited properties in the sql server connection capabilities class would break anything though.
 
This question has come up quite a few times on the mailing lists now, and it would be nice to at least have a workaround for supporting SQL Server views.
 
Jason

One way to specify the identity properties is through a config document, which can be attached to the feature source. Unfortunately, the SQLServerSpatial advertises that it does not support config documents even though it does. I've logged a trac ticket (http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/ticket/469) for this defect.
