SDF See Spatial Data File. SDP See Spatial Data Provider. select To designate one or more map features as those you want to work on. You can select by clicking with the mouse, dragging an area around an feature, selecting the name of the map features from a list, and more. Selected features are displayed in a different color (specified in Autodesk MapGuide Author). Select statement See SQL Select statement. server There are three types of servers that are related to Autodesk MapGuide: a Windows NT server, which is a computer with Windows NT installed on it that is configured as a server; Autodesk MapGuide Server, which is an application that runs on the Windows NT server and serves map data to Autodesk MapGuide Author and Autodesk MapGuide Viewer; and a Web server, which works with a Web browser to provide access to the Internet via the World Wide Web and display the maps sent by Autodesk MapGuide Server. SHIFT-click A method of selecting multiple, contiguous items in a list by clicking the first item you want to select, and then holding down the SHIFT key and clicking the last item you want to select. SHP See ArcView Shape file. spatial data Data that represents the location of a spatial feature, such as text, points, lines, and polygons. In Autodesk MapGuide, spatial data is contained in spatial data files (SDFs) or spatial data provider (SDP) data sources. Point and text features can also be contained in SQL databases. See also attribute data and raster image file. Spatial Data File (SDF) The Autodesk MapGuide native file format for files that contain spatial data, such as roads, cities, and countries. Spatial Data Provider (SDP) An OLE DB data provider that can process spatial queries and access spatial data. SQL See Structured Query Language. SQL Select statement A SQL statement that you specify to select records from a database. You use a SQL Select statement when creating a Zoom Goto location in Autodesk MapGuide Author, for example. See also Structured Query Language. static layer A layer that stores all of the data for the entire layer in the MWF. Unlike dynamic layers, which download only the data needed for the current view, static layers download all of the data for the layer when the layer is first accessed, so the static option is better for layers with small data sets and data that does not require high security. Structured Query Language (SQL) A syntax for defining and manipulating data from a relational database. Developed by IBM in the 1970s, it has become an industry standard for query languages in most relational database management systems. See also SQL Select statement. style set A style set defines how a layer will display at a particular display range. Each layer has at least one style set. To display the layer always the same way, you define the style properties for this one style set only. To display the layer differently at different display ranges, such as adding a theme to the layer when the map is zoomed in far enough, you create additional style sets, and define their style properties.
