FDO PostGIS Provider Notes

This provider is a "work in progress"

This page is used to track relevent items during development, and will eventually turn into a usage notes page as the provider matures.

If you are using the PostGIS provider, please be aware of these limitations:

• Spatial tables must have entries in the geometry_columns table
• The PostGIS provider currently does not support anything but lowercase identifiers consistently (database, table, column)
• If you add a table in MapGuide which does not contain a primary key, no columns will show up in the properties list
• You need to run VACUUM ANALYSE on your spatial tables regularly if you want them to work well
