I tried out the newer FDO PostgreSQL driver for PostGIS in the latest MapGuide 2.2 RC2 beta
with a local PostgreSQL db on Windows 7 64-bit (32-bit version of MG),
result? it works really well
Just make sure your not using version 9 of PostgreSQL , FDO 3.5 doesn't
support v9 yet, FDO 3.6/ MapGuide 2.3 will
I ended up downloading and installing the db twice as I forgot about
the lack of support for 9.0 with FDO 3.5
Remember! you need to make sure the libpq.dll's are in your system path

My testing was with some OSM (openstreetmap) data for Victoria, Australia
which I downloaded and loaded with osm2pgsql (use -s if you don't have lots of ram)
http://downloads.cloudmade.com/oceania/australia/victoria
IMHO, the OSM shapefile's have a nicer data structure than how the
OSM files get imported by default into PostgreSQL
Alas, the shp files have ":" in the column name which breaks SHP FDO,
PostgreSQL FDO works fine with these, translating them to _
but you can load the shape files easily into Postgres
lack of ordering support in MapGuide does still leave proper road rendering
rather inanely complex, http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc69
PostGIS rocks, faster than Oracle and free! Oracle's spatial licensing is so like 1990's
I wrote this, coz I figured it's important to tell some software success stories,
often people only post about problems, which can be depressing when your searching

SHP provider: Allow ':' characters in property name
http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/ticket/737#comment:1
has been fixed for 3.6, can't see the svn checkin tho
Hello zac,
It's possible to connect from mgos rc2 x64 installed into a x64 server to a different server with psql?
There is any x64 build of libpq.dll etc libs?
have you test Mapguide RC4 64bit + MySQL FDO ... I always get message session time out when trying to connect from mapguide maestro...
@Anonymous you can definately connect to different servers. As there is only 32 bit psql libaries for windows, I guess you will need to use a 32 bit version of mapguide server... try posting a question on fdo-users?
@abengah I haven't tried the MySQL provider out on x64, please post a question to the mailing list with the exact versions of the database libraries you have installed.
