[gdal-dev] Re: [mapserver-users] OGR VRT ODBC connection problem

Thanks Stephen, 

I should have included this in my first msg, apologies, but thanks for the reply.

I'm running GDAL v1.6.1, from
ogrinfo --version
GDAL 1.6.1, released 2009/05/11
 

And, running isql (from unixodbc) also works.

isql --help
unixODBC 2.2.12

isql -v metp niwatest niwatest
libnuma: Warning: /sys not mounted or no numa system. Assuming one node: No such file or directory

|                                       |

+-----------------------------------------+    


So isql succeeds, and is definately using ODBC.

ogrinfo just hangs. Both have the /sys warning msg, which I am ignoring.


I'm still lost with respect to this....


Thanks,

   Brent

Hi Brent,

I'm certainly not an expert on this, but I think the issue might be that 
sqlplus does not use an ODBC connection it uses some proprietary Oracle 
socket protocol to connect.

Do you have ODBC services setup, configured and running on the Linux 
host? How have you verified this?

If not then this is likely the issue. Sorry I don't use ODBC, so I can't 
help much more then this.
