[mapguide-users] MGOS 2.0...

[Zac Spitzer]

I think in terms of mapguide being developer friendly this is *really*
important.

A use-case like a contractor assignment application where the
contractor logs in and is meant to see their assigned jobs on the map
(via a filter) can lead to some fairly serious business problems, lost
time, two contractors turning up to the same job etc.

Any mapguide application which has completely separate customer
business's cannot currently be guaranteed that their data is private.

I hit this error because the King.Oracle driver fails a lot with layer
filters, but beyond monitoring SQL on the database there is no
feedback, beyond maybe seeing too much data.

As an out of the box experience for someone evaluating mapguide, i
would find this very frustrating and I could imagine wasting hours
because of this problem.

So that's why i think's it important... (text copied to the bug)

Is this where you're seeing the problem?  Can you provide details about a real-world scenario on the ticket?  Providing information on why this is a pain point really helps when prioritising  the issues.
