Hm, I wasn't thinking in that direction, but Map is still needed if you
wan't to have full FDO Meatada arround your data.
 
This tool will create plain tables in Oracle (indexes, keys,..) and this
data can be used in MapGuide or Map as foreign schemas or using
King.Oracle Provider.
 
If you would like to have full FDO Metadata, MAP is still needed.
 
P.S.
Not sure , if for non Autodesk tool is correct ( i mean some licence
restrictions) to create FDO metada also ?
I suppose it should be, but would be nice if someone from Autodesk would
confirm that.
I was already doing that once for Oracle Topology, puting FDO metadata
arround it.

This is pretty cool Haris.
 
This means that users that aren't able to purchase a Map 3D license can
load data into RDBMS data sources.

Hi,
 
Fdo2Fdo is a tool I am using to work with, learn and test FDO and
perhaps it can help to someone else also.
It is a FDO client application for copying FDO Data Sources and manage
FDO Data Sources with additional tools to work with Oracle.
It has two parts: standard library as fdo client and windows
application.
 
Some features:
 
1. Copy to/from SHP, SDF, Oracle ( didn't tested others but could work)
http://www.sl-king.com/fdo2fdo/screenshots_copy.html
 
2. Copy to Oracle and it will setup all stuff so you can view it
immediately in MapGuide (sdo metadata, spatial index, layer type,
primary key)
 
3. Fdo Toolbox: useful utilities for testing fdo providers and schemas
http://www.sl-king.com/fdo2fdo/screenshots_fdo.html
 
4. Oracle toolbox - manage sdo metadata, spatial index, primary keys
http://www.sl-king.com/fdo2fdo/screenshots_ora.html
 
5. API c, .net  http://www.sl-king.com/fdo2fdo/fdo2fdo_api.html
 
 
You can get it here:  www.sl-king.com/fdo2fdo
 
 
It is a self contained application.
It is 38 MB .zip file which you unzip and ready to go. It contains:
complete fdo, shp,sdf,king.oracle provider, oracle instant client and
needed microsoft redistributables.
 
I tested it around sdf,shp and oracle but it is general fdo client so it
could work with others also, if not let me know and I will try to fix
it.
 
If some of this, is material for open source I am happy to make it so.
 
Haris
