OLEDB/ODBC driver for SDF3

[Anonymous]

How do I query data if SDF3 is my database. Can we expect OLEDB/ODBC driver
for SDF3?

I heard SDF3 is based on Sqlite technology. I've seen ODBC drivers for
Sqlite but I don't think they work with SDF3.

Although I also see the utility in an OLEDB/ODBC driver for SDF3 (or
more usefully, making SDF3 files accessible as SQLite) in the meantime
you can run queries against SDF3 files using either MapGuide or FDO
directly.

The MapGuide FeatureService has some good examples:

If you want something with a bit less overhead, using FDO directly is
possible, though it's still somewhat uncharted territory:

https://fdo.osgeo.org/docs/FDG_FDODevGuide.pdf
https://fdo.osgeo.org/nonav/docs/FDO_API_managed/index.html

And there are examples of the API in the unit tests, which you can
download from SVN:
