About Mapserver Native Oracle support and OGR Oracle support

[Bart van den Eijnden]

I think the Mapserver native would be the preferred way. It should have the best performance, and it has the same features as the OGR one. Note that the OGR OCI driver was mostly developed for writing data and not so much for reading (so it might not be completely optimized for that).

Best regards,
Bart

Hello!
Does anyone have a suggestion which is the preferred way for getting the 
spatial data from Oracle? Is it Mapserver Native support or is it through 
OGR / gdal? What are the drawbacks / benefits for both of these? I already 
know that if I use ogr approach I have to compile gdal and then compile 
mapserver for this version of gdal. 

I quess that Mapserver native approach is more widely used?


Yours:
