[mapguide-users] Is everbody on holiday or something?

[Traian Stanev]

I am not sure about the answer to this so someone should correct me if
I'm wrong... I think only the ODBC provider will let you specify
separate columns for x and y and then will treat that as a point. All
other providers expect the data to have a bona fide geometry property.
The x and y columns in your case are just simple data attributes, and
not geometry.

Here is what I see in studio when connecting to mysql through Mapserver
Enterprise 2007.

 

There are X and Y columns, but why can't I choose a geometry? I just
want to create a point layer from a database source, just like I did on
windows with the odbc FDO.

I tried the one that comes with mysql and now I can connect. But in the
list of data stores there is nothing. I'm trying to create one no to
check differences.

Does it need to be a specific version? Because I tried one that was
installed with PHP5, but that one gave errors. Another gave also errors.

You need to copy libmysql.dll to the directory where the provider dll
is, likely under /FDO/bin relative from where acad.exe is located.
Autodesk can't legally distribute MySQL binaries, hence you have to
download it yourself. This should be documented somewhere in the Map
documentation.

Where is the feedback? Is Autodesk still reading this list?

 

 

The MySQL provider does not give me geometry. I have exported the access
database to mysql. 

Also could not test connection in Map 2007 because libmysql.dll was not
found?!
