Point layer without geometry

[Marco Marsella]

Hi list,

I have a (probably silly) request. I need to map a layer consisting of
points stored in an old Oracle 8.0.4 database for which no spatial
extension is available. In other words, I have latitude and longitude
stored a floting point numbers, but the point is not available as a
geometry in the database.

Is there any way to get this layer mapped ? I do not need geometric
queries as the number of points is not very high (~3,000). I cannot
move the database to PostGIS or add a geometry column.

Would it be possible to generate the geometries on the fly through the
SQL query of the DATA element ? If yes, how ?

Thank you.
