[Qgis-user] Oracle Spatial Driver

[jonathanmoules at warwickshire.gov.uk]

Just a quick general question - would this be an Oracle Spatial or an 
Oracle Locator driver? Because (for those who don't know), Oracle give 
quite a lot of their spatial stuff for "free" by way of Oracle Locator 
(it's included in Oracle Enterprise Edition), but there's a expensive 
extension called Oracle Spatial which adds a lot more functions.

Ideally the driver would be able to use the Locator functionality without 
triggering the Spatial functionality unless that functionality is 
explicitly requested (Oracle have a weird licensing model - everything is 
enabled and you can't easily disable it; the onus is on the user not to 
use the extensions).

My thoughts/observations anyway, but I'm not the one paying so... :-)

 Hi,

 The City of Dornbirn and the Province of Vorarlberg have an interest in 
 getting an Oracle Spatial native driver developed for QGIS. They would 
 finance the bulk of the development, but they are interested in other 
 financial contributions if there are other interested commercial or 
 governmental QGIS users with an interest in the access of Oracle 
 databases.

 Please contact me if you have an interest in helping this project 
 financially. We are not interested in small donations but in more 
 substantial amounts in order not to complicate the billing process too 
 much.

 Thanks,
 Andreas
