Attaching files (BLOB) to a feature

[Dejan Gregor]

Hi,

I would like to attach various files (like a 'light' document management) to features in MapGuide. How can I do this?

I would like to attach files and save them to a BLOB in Oracle 11g and also at SQL Sever 2005 (two different implementations).

Are there any examples how to do this in MapGuide Enterprise 2009?

Thanks!

Dejan

Hmmm, I haven't had to deal with hyperlinking in mapguide (yet), but I would think that you could assign a hyperlink to each feature that points to a page (asp.net,php or jsp) that can generate the document on-the-fly to present to the users. Just be sure that when you store the data, you also store the content-type so that it can be properly generated by the server-side code.
