[mapguide-users] OGR / GEOS selection problem

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

Yes, I have tried doing the selection with a triangle, and it also 
works, but there is another bug in GEOS, that makes it EXTREMELY slow 
for any geometries with +2000 points.

I have posted some info on trac about it:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/172

So, the original problem is "fixed", but it opens another problem, which 
may have more to do with GEOS than with the provider.
I think the related speed problem makes the provider more useless with 
the fix than without.

I can build a new provider, but I don't have the setup for Oracle and 
PostGIS.

Regards, Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S
