[Mapserver-users] MapServer and Oracle

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Guillaume,

I only have experience with mapserver as a WMS (web map server). This is 
read-only access to Oracle Spatial.

If you want mapserver to create, modify and delete features in Oracle 
Spatial, you should ask the mailing list how far the WFS (web feature 
server) has been implemented. I think for the WFS mapserver will work with 
OGR and OGR can read and write Oracle Spatial data, so there is a slight 
chance some of these features will work, but am not sure if all of your 
actions will work.

I do not have an answer to dynamic segmentation question, perhaps other 
people on the list are able to answer this question.

Best regards,
Bart
