Feature Representation

Features read from MySQL consist of a series of attribute values but no geometry. The feature type of each feature is as defined on its DEF line.

Features written to the database have the destination table as their feature type, and attributes as defined on the DEF line.

Features read from, or written to, MySQL have an attribute for each column in the database table. The feature attribute name will be the same as the source or destination column name. The attribute and column names are case-insensitive as opposed to database and table names whose case sensitivity depends on the underlying operating system.
