[mapserver-dev] mapsde : qualified names vs non qualified names

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  Working with mapserver/sde layers, we came across an issue  where the 
attribute names used (ex for a querybyattributes) must be qualified if 
there is a Join done on the layer and non-qualified if there is no join. 
Note that this is documented.
  Do you see any advantage/problem to always be able to use qualified 
names either there is a join or not? At least be able for those who want 
it, to be able to have a setting so that qualified names are always 
used. (this would preserve the way it works now if there is nothing set)

Thanks
