[gdal-dev] [EXTERNAL] Minimum user rights needed for Oracle driver

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

What about if GDAL and Oracle can't find common understandment about SRID? I have seen that GDAL tries then  to insert something into MDSYS.CS_SRS and with our user rights that fails always. I have not studied that further because that comes always from my error and adding -lco SRID helps which is lucky because our db admins tend to be jealous about the MDSYS area.

Nothing to worry about USER/ALL_SDO_INDEX_METADATA, is it handled automatically together with read/write rights to tables and views?
