a layer from multiple datasources (similar to mapguide's secondary table)

[Zhonghai Wang]

Hi Eduard,

AFAIK, it's not possible.

the ESRI Shapefile has its own attribute table, the *.dbf file, maybe you
can add some columns to the shape file dbf, this should be a possible
solution. and without oracle data your application will be faster.

kind regards

zhonghai
