you like Oracle (the <U>commercial</U> software company) or not, their database
software is great. I'm not quite sure how one defines "hobbled" but Oracle XE
seems robust enough for most web applications. The only limitations are 4 GB of
total DB information, 1 GB maximum of allocated RAM, and the usage of 1 CPU per
install. Of course, the spatial capabilities (as discussed in this mailing list
a couple of days ago) are the same as Oracle Locator. So, in this way, it would
be very suitable for most web and lightweight apps, but might be a stretch for
enterprise GIS purposes.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

full functioning version of the Oracle DBMS with tons of spatial capabilities
(the entire locator engine in fact with a few Oracle spatial gems hidden as well
- we have discovered a few that are available). Also, Oracle is the world's
largest database vendor and I read recently (in an IDC report - I think it was)
that something like 80-90% of the world's spatial data that are stored in a DBMS
are stored in Oracle.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=blue size=2><SPAN

ability to do spatial queries, tons of spatial data manipulation procedures such
as simplifying features, manipulating data in just about every possible way, the
ability to do coordinate transformations, store and manipulate linear
referencing data (does postGIS come with LRS capabilities?) and best of all it
is completely scalable into the entire Oracle suite (since it is a version of
the Oracle Standard platform - with views, triggers, stored procedures, etc.).
Check it out for yourself (<A
href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/index.html">http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/index.html</A>)
- the GUI does not offer the true power - the command line tools are where the

effectively.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

am a huge open source advocate (particularly MapGuide) but the spatial vendors
still do not play well with databases (and each other) and Oracle seems to be
the best common denominator - I can use my GeoMedia Pro license to connect to
Oracle XE, I would be able to use Autodesk Map ad MapGuide if some one will
provide the FDO (free or otherwise), ESRI of course is a lost cause (and out of
my equation) because it does not have SDE bolted on top (and the direct connect
is a joke) but I am looking for an open system with flexibility in the tools I
use. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
