Physical Schema Overrides and XML File Format
A large number of FDO interface changes are
introduced for physical schema overrides, or mappings, due to the
new providers. The new providers also require updates to the FDO
Schema XML file format.
Non-Physical Mapping FDO Interface Changes
The non-physical mapping FDO interface changes
are in the following areas:
-
Property
Contraints. Constraints now affect the schema-related
classes.
-
XML
Serialization. Support FDO data in GML format, as opposed
to only the previously supported schema in GML format, using a
number of enhancements. Specifically, the Web Feature Service (WFS)
capabilities for the FDO Provider for WFS is now supported.
-
Long
Transactions and Locking. Now supports the ability to
return lock conflicts from long transaction commit and rollback
commands and also supports class-level settings to determine whether
the class is long transaction version-enabled and persistent locking-enabled.
