    25 The FDO API currently defines support for a SQL command that allows for pass-through execution of SQL statements either through !NonQuery execution of the SQL statement directly in the underlying Data Store, or through a query mechanism that returns a simple data reader listing the properties returned as a result of the SQL execution. The definition of the SQL command has remained fairly static over the last number of releases as primary development efforts have focused on extending other aspects of the FDO API, implementing new providers, etc. However, over the last few releases, requirements for change to the SQL command have accumulated as RDBMS providers have implemented SQL support and clients have attempted to integrate use of the command into their applications in a seamless manner.

    2727One key request that has been received, has been the desire to have the FDO API support SQL pass-through commands that return an FDO feature reader, referencing a proper FDO schema, not simply an FDO data reader. The feature reader will contain proper geometry properties, relations and associations. This enhancement is also intended to allow client applications that use FDO Feature Readers to code their applications in a generic manner so that data coming back from Select or SQL Pass Through statements can be processed in a uniform manner, thus reducing complexity, costs and time to implement.
