Thanks for all the guidance Jason. I will take a look at the spatial
support in SQL Server 2008 but I am not sure if my client is ready to
update their SQL Server. My original problem was fixed by restarting
mapguide service.
Thanks again,
George

George,
Those are part of Autodesk's proprietary SQL Server provider, so yes
there are likely licensing issues. It may work with MGOS, but you
probably legally have to have a license for MGE to use it. If your
client prefers SQL Server you may be better off moving to Map
2009/MGOS2.0.2/SQL Server 2008. This allows you to access SQL Server's
new Spatial support, and doesn't lock you into the semi-proprietary data
structure of the original ADSK SQL Server provider. It's a relatively
untested provider though...
A couple things to check on your original problem:
- is the FDO version the same between Map 2008 and the version of
MapGuide you are running.
- have you re-started the MapGuide service? The providers list is
cached.
You should not have to modify your Studio providers.xml list; I believe
that the local FDO installation is only used for load procedures.
Everything else should use the Server providers. Could be wrong though.

I am using MG Studio 2008 and would like to build a data connection to
this SQL Server datastore. I have copied the SQL Server entry from the
providers.xml associated with Map 2008 to the Mapguide Studio
providers.xml and the MGOS providers.xml.

Are
there licensing issues?
