[mapguide-users] Additional FDO Provider Previews

[Jason Birch]

Have you looked at using this procedure to create resources with
external locations?
 
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=321
 
When I have time, I'm going to write either a web app or command line
utility that allows us to do this for SHP/SDF (and other?) resources.  I
may need to work on figuring the right XML schema for the new data
sources...

I've been playing with the raster provider this morning and am happy to
report that two quick tests worked fine and performance seems to be very
good.  I loaded up a 10 MB ECW and a 250 MB MrSID.  The flexibility of
transparent shaded polygon fills really shows over raster, it's very
nice.  
 
My only complaint is the managed data structure of the repository.  I
had to load my MrSID which already resides somewhere else on that same
drive and is accessed by other apps (like an older MapGuide 6.5 app).
Now I have redundant data.  Are there any plans to allow "connections"
to raster data stored in other physical locations?  I have some clients
that have many gigabytes of imagery used in their existing MapGuide
applications and I see having to load the data as a potential problem.

All,

 

Previews of the additional FDO Providers for ArcSDE, MySQL, ODBC, WMS,
WFS, and Raster Files have now been posted for the Windows platform only
at this point. You can download individual providers from:

 

https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=35&expa
ndFolder=35&folderID=35
<https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=35&exp
andFolder=35&folderID=35> 

 

Note that the included Raster Provider is the one that will be shipped
with the commercial MapGuide offering. If you only intend to use the
Open Source version then Franks GDAL Provider is the one you will want
to use long term.

 

See the readme.txt file included with each provider package for
installation instructions.

 

Thanks,

Bob
