[mapguide-users] SDF ODBC Connector..

[Traian Stanev]

Addressing the original statement that SDF is not necessarily open source. SDF is most definitely open source, and here is the source:

http://svn.osgeo.org/fdo/trunk/Providers/SDF/



Thanks,
Traian

Bob has posted publicly that SDF is an open format, but that it hasn't been documented.  Essentially, the source for SDF is the FDO provider.

You might be more interested in some work that's going on with native SQLite:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FDORfc16

SQLite already has an ODBC driver, under BSD-style license.

This provider is already pretty stable in its current state.  It's not as fully-featured as SDF, but it is open and very fast.  Listening to Traian's descriptions of the optimisations makes my head spin.

I've been meaning to post a current binary for others to test; I'll see if I can get to that tonight.

I agree, Didn't think to post it there since SDF isn't necessarily Open Sourced.
