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 dif-
ferent color (specified in Autodesk MapGuide Author).
Select statement
See
SQL Select statement
.
server
There are three types of servers that are related to this product: 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 Inter-
net 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 file format
ArcView Shape file, a data format that includes files created in ESRI
ArcView. You can convert these files to latitude/longitude SDF files using the Autodesk
MapGuide SDF Loader.
spatial data
Data that represents the location of a spatial feature. See also
attribute
data
.
spatial data file (SDF)
The native file format of Autodesk MapGuide that contains
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
Structured Query Language, 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.
SQL Select statement
A SQL statement that you specify to select records from a data-
base. You use a SQL Select statement when creating a Zoom Goto location in Autodesk
MapGuide Author, for example.
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.
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 dis-
play 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.
table
A set of data with a horizontal dimension (rows/records) and a vertical dimen-
sion (columns/fields). A table has a specified number of columns and any number of
rows. Tables are typically stored in relational databases (RDBMS), such as Oracle or
Access, but can also be stored in files such as Excel spreadsheets and delimited text files.
