I suppose we're talking about Oracle Spatial, otherwise I don't think it would worth it...<div><br></div><div>giovanni<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/4/3 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jonathanmoules@warwickshire.gov.uk">jonathanmoules@warwickshire.gov.uk</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><font size="3" face="Arial">Just a quick general question - would this be
an Oracle Spatial or an Oracle Locator driver? Because (for those who don't
know), Oracle give quite a lot of their spatial stuff for "free"
by way of Oracle Locator (it's included in Oracle Enterprise Edition),
but there's a expensive extension called Oracle Spatial which adds a lot
more functions.</font><br><br><font size="3" face="Arial">Ideally the driver would be able to use the
Locator functionality without triggering the Spatial functionality unless
that functionality is explicitly requested (Oracle have a weird licensing
model - everything is enabled and you can't easily disable it; the onus
is on the user not to use the extensions).</font><br><br><font size="3" face="Arial">My thoughts/observations anyway, but I'm
not the one paying so... :-)</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial">Jonathan</font><br><br><br><br><br><font size="1" color="#5f5f5f" face="sans-serif">From:

<br> getting an Oracle Spatial native driver developed for QGIS. They would
<br> finance the bulk of the development, but they are interested in other
<br> financial contributions if there are other interested commercial or <br> governmental QGIS users with an interest in the access of Oracle <br> databases.<br><br> Please contact me if you have an interest in helping this project <br>
financially. We are not interested in small donations but in more <br> substantial amounts in order not to complicate the billing process too
<br> much.<br><br> Thanks,<br> Andreas<br><br><br>-- <br> --<br> Andreas Neumann<br> Böschacherstrasse 10A<br> 8624 Grüt (Gossau ZH)<br> Switzerland<br>_______________________________________________<br>Qgis-user mailing list<br>
