[mapguide-users] map layer points created from odbc connection not changing?

[Dave Wilson]

MapGuide captures the list of tables available at the time the feature source was created. You then build your layers based on those tables. The data is read dynamically from the tables at the time the layer is viewed in the map.

The only thing that isn't dynamic is the list of tables. If you came along to build a new layer, the table list is a point in time capture. You would have to open, edit and save the feature source to pick up new tables so that you can build new layers based on those tables.

If you aren't seeing new data points show up while viewing the map then something else is wrong. MapGuide doesn't cache the data. Are the transactions adding new points to the database committed by the other application?

Hi

We have a planning application layer we have created using spatial data via
an ODBC connection which plots all applications on our map perfectly.

Unfortunately though for some reason when a new application is added in the
SQL 2000 database that the ODBC reads from the map does not appear to
refresh with this new information (using F5 etc). 

I said it should do so as these layer configs surely just tell mapguide when
it builds the layers at view time where to go and get the info to spatially
display.

Am I right or does the map need to be rebuilt every time content data is
added, removed or amended in the tables?

Thanks
Neil
