points in a multipolygon set from oraclespatial

[Judd, Chris]

I'm not sure, but I think you might run into an issue with MapServer if you
are mixing geometry types.  I haven't tested this myself, but MapServer can
support only one geometry type for each layer.  With that said I have heard
that MapServer can support polys and lines in a single layer but most likely
points would not work.  

Hope this helps.

I'm new to Oracle, that's probably why that wasn't clear for me. '1003'
gtype is not for a point but for polygons too.
Actually, the '2007' multipolygons with '1003' elements are polygons
with holes. I'm sorry for this obvious mistake.

Althouh, I do have the problem that OGR connection crashes,
oraclespatial connection not on those type of geometry.
