[gdal-dev] unable to append data to orale spatial

[Peter J Halls]

Imran,

    in the documentation for the OCI Driver it says clearly that the spatial 
extent and SDO_GEOM_METADATA entries are not updated when using append mode and 
that it is up to the caller to manage these.

    It is actually quite easy to code for this, but does require an SQLExecute 
to handle SDO_GEOM_METADATA.  I simply generate this on the fly, along with the 
SQL to update the spatial index.

Best wishes,

Peter
