FDO ProvidersExtend data access of Autodesk Geospatial Solutions with Autodesk Feature Data Objects (FDO) providers. The following FDO providers are available within AutoCAD® Map 3D, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise, Autodesk® Topobase™, and Autodesk® Utility Design software. FDO Provider for GE Smallworld
Built in collaboration with Spatial Business Systems (SBS), the FDO Provider for GE Smallworld offers read-only access to GE Smallworld’s Version Managed Data Store (VMDS), improving asset information for GE Smallworld utility customers seeking increased productivity and cost efficiencies. This provider is available via Autodesk® Subscription only FDO Provider for OracleRead/write access to feature data in an Oracle-based data store. Supports spatial indexing, long transactions, and persistent locking. A custom application programming interface (API) can gather provider information, transmit client services exceptions, list data stores, and create connection objects. FDO Provider for RasterRead-only access to feature data in raster-based file format. Supports various image and geographic information systems (GIS) data formats (for example, JPEG, PNG, MrSID, and others). Supports georeferenced file-based raster images and file-based grid coverages. Pixel-based images, such as satellite images, are useful underneath vector data. FDO Provider for Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Read/write access to feature data in a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005-based data store. A custom API supports schema read/write access, and spatial and non-spatial data read/write access. FDO Provider for Microsoft SQL Server 2008
This Provider allows customers to take advantage of Microsoft SQL Server 2008’s native support for spatial data by providing direct access (read and write) to spatial data within the SQL Server 2008 database. FDO Provider for ArcSDERead/write access to feature data in an ESRI ArcSDE-based data store (that is, with an underlying Oracle or SQL Server database). Supports describing schema, and inserting, selecting, updating, and deleting feature data in existing schemas; does not support creating or deleting schemas. FDO Provider for MySQLRead/write access to feature data in a MySQL-based data store. Supports spatial data types and spatial query operations. A custom API can gather information, transmit exceptions, list data stores, and create connection objects. MySQL architecture supports various storage engines, characteristics, and capabilities. FDO Provider for ODBCRead/write access to feature data in an ODBC-based data store. Supports XYZ feature objects and can define feature classes for any relational database table with X, Y, and optionally Z columns; does not support creating or deleting schema. Object locations are stored in separate properties in the object definition. FDO Provider for SDFRead-write access to feature data in an SDF-based data store. Autodesk’s spatial data format, SDF, supports multiple features/attributes and provides high performance for large data sets, interoperability with other Autodesk products, and spatial indexing. The SDF provider is a valid alternative to database storage. Note that this release of the SDF provider supports version 3.0 of the SDF file format. FDO Provider for SHPRead/write access to existing spatial and attribute data in an ESRI shapefile (SHP)-based data store, which consists of separate shape files for geometry, index, and attributes. Each SHP and its associated DBF file is treated as a feature class with a single geometry property. This is a valid alternative to database storage but does not support locking. FDO Provider for WFSRead-only access to feature data in an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) WFS-based data store. Supports client-server environment and retrieves geospatial data encoded in GML from one or more web feature services (WFS) sites. Client/server communication is encoded in XML with the exception of feature geometries, which are encoded in GML. Note that there is no public API documentation for this provider; all functionality is accessible via the base FDO API. FDO Provider for WMSRead-only access to feature data in an OGC WMS-based data store. Web map service (WMS) produces maps of spatially referenced data dynamically from geographic information, which are generally rendered in PNG, GIF, or JPEG, or as vector-based scalable vector graphics (SVG) or web computer graphics metafile (WebCGM) formats. |
