PostGIS support was not dropped from the provider. The default build of the OGR
provider now dynamically links to the GDAL/OGR dlls, unlike before when I did a
static link against my own build of OGR, with PostGIS support enabled.
If your GDAL build has PostGIS support, it *should* also work in the OGR
provider. However, I don't think the pre-built GDAL dll that comes with FDO is
compiled with PostGIS support.

Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] Postgis & OGR provide
We've made some investigations on this issue.
It appears that in latest precompilated Windows binaries OGR support
for Postgresql (that has to be enabled at compile time) was dropped in
favor of the new Postgis provider.
Probably this also happens in OGR provider compiled under GNU/Linux.
Error messages don't help much to understand.
Maybe you can check your OGR provider dynamic libraries with ldd to
find unresolved symbols.
Postgis provider seems to need a fairly recent version of Postgresql
header in order to work (it works in Windows against Postgresql
8.2.10, it does not against Postgresql 8.1.15)
We're trying to compile the Postgis provider under Debian etch
(stable), using newer packages from lenny (testing) when needed.
The problem is that compiling flags force build to go until the end
even if some symbols are unresolved. And this is how we've find that
the new postgis provider needs a recent postgresql version.
If you find something new please report me.
