[Mapserver-users] Oracle Spatial

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Zamil,

otn (Oracle technology network) is the best site for Oracle information. 
Oracle itself has a tool to import shapefiles into Oracle Spatial.

http://otn.oracle.com (you can register for free)

The easiest to use is the built-in Oracle Spatial support. To use the 
support through OGR, you have to compile OGR against the Oracle client 
library.

See also the mapserver wiki Oracle Spatial page:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OracleSpatial

Best regards,
Bart
