[Gdal-dev] OCI driver and views

[Nicol Hermann]

Hi List, 

i was wondering about the behaviour of the OGR/OCI driver. May be
someone can shed any light on that. 

When i do a: 
ogrinfo OCI:<user>/<pass>@oracle -so -sql 'select * from water' 

I get back the summary of the table 'water' but i also get back error
messages form some objects 

e.g. 
ERROR 1: ORA-04043: Objekt VW_STAND ist nicht vorhanden 
in OCIDescribeAny 

I assume that the OCI driver could not handle views because all the
objects identified as errors are views which are registered in the
sdo_geom_metadata_table. Is that true? 
How can i avoid the error messages in the output which refers to tables
i am not interested in? 

I'am using gdal 1.2.0 on a debian 3.0r2 box. 

Thanks for any help 
Nicol
