Wim,

I am afraid my limited knowledge of Oracle is already growing rusty.  What is
a gid?  Is this the big oracle object unique id?  I thought every row had an
Oid?  In any event I reviewed the ogrocilayer.cpp code and it does not seem
to have any dependence on having an oid, or a gid.  If the OGR_FID is not
available it just assigns sequential FID's in the OGR features.

Is the gid a geometry id?  If so, I am pretty sure I have correctly returned
geometryless layers in some situations, if only with pass through SQL.

If there is anything you can do to let me reproduce this I am still willing to
try and reproduce and fix it on my Oracle system.

Best regards,
