This repo is a community effort to provide additional documents and samples about coding in Manifold® Release 9.

Never heard of Manifold® Release 9?

Manifold® Release 9 or Manifold® System Release 9, often referred to as Manifold 9, Release 9 or M9, for short, is a desktop GIS package like ArcGIS, Global Mapper, FME, MapInfo, and QGIS. We, here, think that M9 surpasses the others in various ways.

M9 has a sister product called SQL for ArcGIS® Pro (aka sql4arc), which is basically M9, just tightly integrated with and packaged as ArcGIS® Pro add-in. The information here appies to sql4arc as well and, to a lesser extent, to Manifold Viewer which is read-only version of M9. Viewer cannot run .NET scripts, but has full SQL capabilities.
