[mapguide-users] Experiences with Oracle Spatial

[Andy Morsell]

Joel,
I also tried to work with Oracle Spatial with some of the earlier beta
releases and experienced similar problems.  I would like to test this again
as well (your post made me think about it again), but my spatial features
don't seem to be exposed when I configure a new connection to an Oracle
Spatial datastore.  It seems to treat it as aspatial data since I do not see
the portions of the data connection dialog that pertains to feature source
configuration.  Did you have to do anything special to get Studio to see
your spatial data?  In my case, the data originated from an outside system
and has not been configured in Autodesk Map so no feature classes have been
defined - I wonder if that's the problem.... I can't find any documentation
on the steps to author Oracle Spatial data in MapGuide Enterprise.

Am I correct in assuming that the Autodesk FDO Provider for Oracle also
applies to Oracle Spatial or should I have another FDO provider in my data
connections dialog?

Thanks.

Can anyone provide some feedback to me on their experiences with the Oracle
Spatial FDO from the Enterprise edition? Has anyone gotten it to work in a
satisfactory manner? Are you seeing stability/performance issues? What is
your setup?

Our experiences aren't great.  Some of our data displays but is quite slow. 
Creating a layer from an Oracle Spatial source is extremely slow (over a
minute just to start editing). I suspect this is related to the reading of
the schema metadata, but I don't really know. 

You can see my original (as yet unanswered) post here regarding one of my
specific problems here:

Even a simple yes or no would be helpful at this point. 

Thanks,
