msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape(): Function not implemented yet

[Solomon]

i've been trying to query an image box. when i use shapefiles the
querybyrect function works fine. when i try using the same on oracle 9i i
get the following error.
"msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape(): Function not implemented yet "
am connecting using "CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial". How soon will the
function be implemented. i got some information that i have to use OGR. but
i don't want to recompile the whole shebhang again. Is there a work around
to this problem
