[mapserver-users] oracle spatial 9i

[Yu-Hsin Chen]

Yes, as Hugues pointed out in 0202/msg00333.html, I did get specific Oracle error messages.

It is not an effortless task to use MapServer with its native Oracle cupport, however, isn't that the reason why we love computer work?

First of all you have to know for sure that MapServer is talking to Oracle already.  For me, running Mandrake Linux and Apache I had to modify my commonhttpd.conf to include the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID before the MapServer started to communicate with Oracle.  If you never seen an Oracle error there might be a high probability that MapServer is not talking to Oracle yet.  Once you overcome this communications hurdle then you need to have operating knowledge about Oracle's SDO schema which is the spatial option of Oracle.  Oracle's SDO implementation is highly object orientated and not the same as the traditional relational database model as we're familiar with.

One final note, I was on MapServer 3.5 and Oracle 8.1.7i.  I haven't got time to play with either 3.6 or 9i.

Tim,

Don't you have the Oracle Error ?

For example look at :  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0202/msg00333.html

Yu had a defined  Oracle error !
