[mapguide-users] RE: ODBC problem...

[Butler, Juan P]

I've done exactly what you have done.  Graphics do not show.

 

I've had it right from the beginning, just something else going on.  I
guess there is something with the joined columns that is causing the
problem.  But the values exist in each the SDF and the MDB.   Just don't
know why if I change it to another column that doesn't match, the
graphics appear.   But no tooltip.

Here are some screenshots.  I think that will help clarify things.

I'm using the Access database as the secondary and still not able to
pull up the graphics connecting to the secondary.   In the Feature Data
Setup for the layer, I go and choose the Access database in the Feature
Class dropdown.  Is this not correct?  If I don't do this, the Access
fields won't show up.

Thanks for the clarification Dave.  I hadn't even looked at my spatial
datasource to notice that there is now a Join portion of the dialog at
that level.  I was thinking the join was only defined from the tabular
datasource.  Now that I have set it up there (pretty much using the same
steps I previously outlined) it is working fine.  I can display my
parcel polygons with tooltips and properties derived from the secondary
Access database.

 

It is a little confusing that it can be done the other way around and
that a layer can be seemingly created from that while choosing the
geometry feature from the secondary datasource.  That process should
probably be changed in Studio to prevent that from happening.

 

I'm still having problems with point data from an ODBC resource, but
will do some more experimenting later.

Am I correct in understanding you are using the spatial resource as the
Secondary resource? The Spatial resource needs to be the primary
resource if this is what the layer is to be based on. The join is
generally for attaching attribute data to spatial data such as adding
properties from an Access table to an SDF.

 

Point data from an ODBC resource should also work as a primary resource.

Here are the steps I took to create the join.  Note that I wasn't able
to do with anything with the join in terms of creating a layer from it,
however.

*	Once your datasource is setup and you can see the tables listed
in the Refine Data Setup area, click the New Extended Feature Class
button.  
*	Choose your other datasource in the repository that you are
connecting to 
*	Choose the Primary Feature class (table) 
*	Click on your New Join below the Extension you just created 
*	You will most likely only have one option for the Secondary
class (table) 
*	Select your Primary Column and Secondary Column fields.  These
are the key fields tying together your primary (tabular) and secondary
(spatial) datasources. 

If you get this far, please let us know if you can successfully create a
layer where you can view the resultant objects.  I also tried creating a
layer from X and Y points in a table from this database and, again, was
not able to view the resultant geometry.

Hi Andy: 

Can you please outline your 'join connection' steps? I was able to
establish a successful test connection, but failed when joining.

Thank you.
