To communicate with these data sources, Autodesk MapGuide Server uses Microsoft's OLE DB (Object Linking and Embedding Database) technology. OLE DB provides communication between client applications and a variety of database systems using components called data providers. Autodesk MapGuide Server can access attribute data from any standard OLE DB data provider such as Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle, or any ODBC data source (using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers). In addition, Autodesk MapGuide Server can access spatial data from OLE DB Spatial Providers (SDPs), such as Autodesk MapGuide SDF, Autodesk VISION*, and Oracle8i Spatial, by using data extensions. These OLE DB providers enable direct access to the native data sources, which eliminates the need to convert your data before using it with Autodesk MapGuide. The Autodesk MapGuide Data Extension for SDF is automatically installed when you install Autodesk MapGuide Server. You can purchase the following additional data extensions: Autodesk MapGuide Data Extension for VISION* Autodesk MapGuide Data Extension for Oracle8i Spatial Autodesk MapGuide Data Extension for DWG Autodesk MapGuide Data Extension for SHP 74 | Chapter 4 Assembling and Administering Your Server
