MgFeatureService Class Reference
[MgFeatureService]
Inherits MgService.
Detailed Description
Provides an abstraction layer for the storage and retrieval of feature data in a technology-independent way. The API lets you determine what storage technologies are available and what capabilities they have. Access to the storage technology is modeled as a connection. For example, you can connect to a file and do simple insertions or connect to a relational database and do transaction-based operations.
- Remarks:
- The following use cases are supported:
- Connection to a datastore. See MgFeatureService::GetFeatureProviders, MgFeatureService::GetConnectionPropertyValues, MgFeatureService::TestConnection Method (CREFSTRING, CREFSTRING) , and MgFeatureService::TestConnection Method (MgResourceIdentifier*) .
- Description of the capabilities of the FDO provider providing access to the datastore. See MgFeatureService::GetProviderCapabilities.
- Insertion, deletion, and update of feature data. See MgFeatureService::UpdateFeatures, MgInsertFeatures, MgDeleteFeatures, and MgUpdateFeatures.
- Selection of feature data. See MgFeatureService::SelectFeatures and MgFeatureService::SelectAggregate.
- Description of the schema used to store feature data. See MgFeatureService::DescribeSchema, MgFeatureService::DescribeSchemaAsXml, MgFeatureService::GetSchemas, MgFeatureService::SchemaToXml, MgFeatureService::GetClasses and MgFeatureService::GetClassDefinition. See also Feature Schema .
- Creation of an SDF feature source to cache feature data from other datastores. See MgFeatureService::CreateFeatureSource. Using the latter requires describing the schema in the source datastore. Transporting the features from the source datastore requires selecting them from the source and inserting them in the target.
- Execute SQL commands. See MgFeatureService::ExecuteSqlNonQuery and MgFeatureService::ExecuteSqlQuery.
- Get the spatial contexts contained in the datastore. See MgFeatureService::GetSpatialContexts.
