Hi Joel,
I missed that one. In Oracle you can create primary keys on views also.
So you can define FDO identity property for views also via primary key's
(which means features are selectable and editable in MG)

Both of those things are true, but PK constraints and spatial index
types may be defined on tables, and not on the views on top of the
tables. When your dealing with views, you don't really know what is
going on underneath. While it *may* be possible to do some
reverse-engineering and figure some things out automatically, i doubt
the work is worth the effort. Whatever format of metadata you use is
probably OK, as long as it can be easily accessed programatically. 

I would just point out that any metadata specified should be thought of
as 'overrides' in the sense that they are not required. People who just
wanted to use tables (with well defined PKs and what not) could just use
the provider as-is.
