[mapguide-users] .mgp with Feature Source Oracle?

[Jérôme Touré]

Hi,

It's hard to understand what you're trying to do as what you say does 
not really make sense.

Working with Oracle DB is pretty straight forward.

1 - Create a feature source and select the Oracle Provider
2 - Enter the connection parameters
3 - Save
That's done.

When you want to use data from your Oracle database, you just have to 
create a new Vector Layer Definition from the Feature Source and select 
the table containig the spatial data you want to display.

So packages are definitely not needed to work with an Oracle DB.

Moreover, packages do not store spatial data but the parameters entered 
in Maestro.
To make it simple, consider mgp files as ZIP archives with all the 
parameters of the resources packaged in XML format.

So if you create a mgp of your Oracle feature source, it will be a 2ko 
file, no matter how big your Oracle schema is.


I hope this will help.
