Comments on: SQLite Spatial Files in FME 2009 through the Magic of FDO http://www.jasonbirch.com/nodes/2008/12/02/229/sqlite-spatial-files-in-fme-2009-through-the-magic-of-fdo/ ...Jason Birch's geospatial ramblings Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:24:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Dale Lutz http://www.jasonbirch.com/nodes/2008/12/02/229/sqlite-spatial-files-in-fme-2009-through-the-magic-of-fdo/comment-page-1/#comment-67006 Dale Lutz Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:48:10 +0000 http://www.jasonbirch.com/nodes/?p=229#comment-67006 Thanks Jason -- however, I'll point out that it was your urging (with an eye on loading PostGIS via an FDO provider so that the correct metadata tables were automatically populated) that got us down the road of exposing a generic FDO capability in FME, which posed a quite serious UI challenge for us too. Here at Autodesk University there's been talk in the Geospatial corridors of the great performance that this new SQLite spatial brings to bear, and so I'm quite interested to see for myself how it stands up and to watch how folks out there find interesting ways of applying it. Once it is "official", we'll wrap it up nicely inside its own UI in a future FME to make it every easy for folks to use, but until then, the method you've outlined in this article will allow anyone to use it.
