[mapguide-users] Re: Item X is already in this named collection

[Marie-Eve Gauthier]

Hello Brent,

Thank you so much. I think the MSVCR71.dll was missing. We did all the
Windows update and your little application told me that the connection was
good. When I tried the Data connection, it wasn't working. However, I took
off a part of the service name postgis@ (that was before the IP address on
my other data connection with the PostGIS provider) and now the PostgreSQL
provider works!

Thank you so much!!

Marie-Eve

Hi,

There is a PostgreSQL provider connection tester at
http://download.osgeo.org/fdo/3.5.0/tools/. It's available for Windows 32 or
64 bit, with a separate zip file for each. If your MapGuide server is on
Linux, I could look into putting together a tester for it. To install, just
unzip into a new directory on the same machine as your MapGuide server and
follow the instructions in the README file. Hopefully, it will also fail to
connect but with a more descriptive error message.

The PostgreSQL provider has also been fixed to provide a better message on
connect failure but it'll be a while before the fix shows up in a release.

Brent.

Hello Jackie,

I tried to use the OSgeo. PostGreSQL providers but I get this error message:
An exception occurred in FDO component.
RDBMS: Not connected to the specified database.

I didn't change the feature source before I created the layer, so I don't
think that is the problem for the OSgeo.PostGIS provider.

I would like to use the new provider, but it doesn't work at all for now and
I don't know how to make it work! If you have any other tricks, I will be
more than happy.

Although OSGeo.PostGIS and OSGeo.PostgreSQL are both FDO providers for
PostGIS databases. They are implemented differently and as a result:

 - They require different connection parameters
 - They have different naming conventions for schemas/classes/properties.
What this means is that your PostGIS layers will probably break if you
change your feature source from OSGeo.PostGIS to OSGeo.PostgreSQL or vice
versa.

Also note the general consensus is that OSGeo.PostGIS has been really
unreliable for production use, and if possible you should use the
OSGeo.PostgreSQL provider which is newer and will be getting more attention
from Autodesk.
