[mapguide-users] Re: Join Problem

[Jason Birch]

Bruce has confirmed that the patch attached to that ticket was applied, and
closed the ticket.  I believe that it was after 2.1 was released though.

If you feel like living on the edge, there is a pre-alpha installer for 2.2
available here:

http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/testing/

MapGuideOpenSource-2.2.0.4686-Test.exe

Not guaranteed to work or anything, but if it does it would allow you to
verify whether the fix to the original ticket solves the join problem you're
seeing.

Being a MapGuide 6.5 customer, I started using joins with early MapGuide OS
versions, had tonnes of headaches from stability and performance
perspectives, and ended up using FME to write everything to SDF on a nightly
basis instead and haven't looked back.  I wouldn't be surprised if many
other early adopter production MapGuide sites ran into the same problems and
abandoned joins.  I'm not convinced that joins are fully mature yet, even at
2.2, but they should be considerably better.
