Hi!

	I need some advice about what might be the right path to achieve
	this:

	I have some layers in shapefiles, and I need to classify them
	from data that comes from an Oracle database (without Spatial
	extension).

	I've thought about these solutions:

	1.- Grab the data, and add column(s) to the dbf file of the
	shape, then set the expression and classitem of the layer
	according to the new column(s)

	2.- Grab the data, put it in a PostGIS DB and display as a
	PostGIS layer

	3.- ??? :-)

	Which one would you do? Any suggestion is very welcome.

	(BTW, I'm using MS 3.6.1)

Thanks,
