[Mapserver-users] Oracle spatial

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi list,

Frank thanks for the quick answer.

Which of the two options is the recommended one? Have there been any 
performance tests in the past? Is one implementation more elaborate than 
the other? Are there any future plans to not further develop one of the two 
options, or will they be both available in future releases?

A lot of questions, I hope I get some answers.

Thanks,
Bart
