In your connection to the data in MapGuide Studio, you can define X,Y
columns as a geometry type for tables.

Under the Connection String section, there is a section labeled "Define
geometry properties to create spatial feature classes (optional)"

Click the "Show tables" button to display your databases tables. Put a check
in the box for the "Geometry?" column, then select your X,Y and possibly Z
columns. Then specify the coordinate system to apply.

Hope this helps.
