[mapguide-users] RE: OGR Provider

[larry white]

i've compiled and tested ogr provider - for postgis and oracle spatial
support - in linux using gdal 1.4.0.
as far as i can tell there is no insert/update/delete capabilities.

i have also tested ogr provider and fdopostgis in winXP and those
capabilities do not seem to be present there, either.

Mateusz, is this a correct evaluation of fdopostgis?
also, will fdopostgis be made available for linux?
i took a look at the source code and it seems to be windows-specific
(mind you, my dev strengths are not c/c++).


perhaps i've missed something somewhere along the line - is there an fdo
provider that has more than read-only capabilities for postgis?
can someone confirm that this is actually the case?


are there plans to add insert/update/delete capabilities to the postgis
-capable providers?
i'd love to help out (or be a guinea pig), in any manner i can, as this
would be incredibly useful for me and, from the sounds of it, for others
as well.
