[mapguide-users] SQL Server 2005

[Lockyer James]

Cheers,
 
Can I ask why it has taken three months to point that out or why this is not mentioned in the any of the help files/ published material on the internet or for that matter why the UK resellers are unaware of this fact.  And is there any intention of creating an effective FDO for SQL.
 
In case you have X,Y,Z coordinates stored in different columns, the ODBC provider should be used against SQL Server data. - has this been speeded up in the latest release?  As when I tried this it took over 40 minutes to map out four points.
 
Has anyone thought about using GML as a storage mechanism?
 
Jim

The SQL Server provider is intented to work with datastore created with Map 3D 2007 inside SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
It has it's own geometry storage and spatial indexing mechanism.  Although it could reverse engineer existing database, this would be done for non-spatial data only as it has no mean to identify geometry property in the database.
 
In case you have X,Y,Z coordinates stored in different columns, the ODBC provider should be used against SQL Server data.
 
Just wanted to make sure the provider was not being used for what it was not design for.

Supported yes - does it work... now that's the question.

Hello Gord,

 

I was informed by the ADN that the FDO provider supports: SQL Server 2000 (SP4) and SQL Server 2005.
