[mapguide-users] Suitable Database for MapGuide using FDO

[George McLean]

I have been using MySQL to store spatial features and it seems to work 
well. I did find one problem in the FDO provider that came with MGOS. 
When reading multiple records in a feature reader, string fields would 
not clear from the previous record. This meant that if the first record 
had a string field with the data 'abcdef' and the next record had the 
string 'xyz' in the same field, the provider would return 'xyzdef' for 
the second record. This has been fixed in the FDO provider code but you 
will have to recompile the provider yourself, at least that is what I 
had to do to get it to work.
