[mapguide-users] RE: Changing custom PoolSize for GDAL has no effect

[Haris Kurtagic]

Hi Traian

We are trying to use MG OS 2.2 with GDAL and it is not stable.

Right now at customer sites we are using 2.1 with GDAL with patches we
made some time ago. I remember we had lot of discussion around gdal/mg
but can't remember whole story.

I remember the issue was with concurrent access to gdal provider ( and
also others ).

If I am right at the end, there were some bigger changes made in MG
connection manager to solve those issues ?
In two patches you submitted, there are basically two things : added
ref count to connection and creating copy of the schema ?
The refcount change is related or not to changes made in MG connection manager?

Thanks,
Haris
