[gdal-dev] Regarding using OCI

[Srikanth]

Peter ,

To be more specific, I want to store a ESRI shape file into the oracle
database. I would like to know whether gdal provides such a kind of
direct method where in if one passes the shape file name it gets
stored in the database handling the conversion of SDO_GEOM type
internally.

I have gone through the example provided by Mr.Frank ( fastload.cpp
and ocitest.cpp ) but he I do not want handle the oci calls by myself.

Is there any possibilty to meet my requirement.

Regards,
Srikanth
