I have not seen any way of specifying anything in the load procedures.
An annoying way to work around the type problem, would be to create a
view that casts the doubles to strings.
There exists an SDF toolkit which can read the old SDF. I do not know of
any automated conversions.
Since the previous SDF version is a proprietary format, the number of
tools might be limited.
You can use Studio in an automated way, and that might tweak to what you
want.
I assume that you SDF data originally comes from somewhere else.
It might prove easier to load data from the original source into SDF+.
A tool such as Fdo2Fdo might help you out there.

I am using MG Studio Load Procedures to convert my old SDFs to SDF 3.
When this conversion takes place the “Key” data type property is set to
“string”, unfortunately the Oracle table field I am joining this to is a
number (a double in MGOS).
It appears that MGOS is much more finicky about the property type than
MapGuide 6.5 is (the join works fine in MG 6.5).
So I am wondering .. Are there any options that I might be missing to set
the “Key” column Property Type when the file is converted or do I need to
modify this programmatically (if that is even possible).
I have successfully joined the SDF to a view which casts this number column
as a string but I would definitely like to avoid doing this if at all
possible.
Also ..
1. Before I dig any further is it possible to convert a old SDF to an SDF3
without using a load procedure?
2. I am using unmanaged SDF so I was wondering if is it possible to set the
destination to a directory instead of the repository (it kind a stinks that
you have to convert a file then download it to use the unmanaged SDF. FYI:
I definitely do not want to use Managed SDFs)
Thanks,
Bob
