Spatial Context API
A spatial context defines properties required for the storage and manipulation of geometric data. You use this API to manage the spatial context of a data store.
Use the connection object to create the desired spatial context command (FdoIActivateSpatialContext, FdoICreateSpatialContext, FdoIDestroySpatialContext, or FdoIGetSpatialContexts). The connection must be in the open state to execute these commands. All of the providers support the FdoIGetSpatialContexts command. The ArcSDE, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server providers support the FdoICreateSpatialContext and FdoIDestroySpatialContext commands. The SDF provider supports the FdoICreateSpatialContext command but not the FdoIDestroySpatialContext command.
