<div>Hi Jürgen,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for answering!</div><div><br></div><div>>Which is what the OSGeo4W gdal-oracle package contains. It depends on the</div><div>>oci package, which is the oracle client.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As you can read the email I had writen previously to Giovanni about the OSGeo4W gdal-oracle package:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>About the locations of the libraries:</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In fact, when we installed only the gdal-oracle library from the OSGeo4W installer, only the dlls from the \OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\1.8 are downloaded!</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The steps to download are as follows:</div><div>OSGeo4W installer> Install Advanced> ... > Select Packages> View (Category).</div><div>Categories> Libs</div>
<div>Just select: gdal-oracle: OGR OCI and GDAL GeoRaster Plugins for Oracle. The actual version is 1.8.0-1</div><div>Leave all items unchecked in this and in the other categories!</div><div>>The oci package is 32MB ie. ~130MB installed...</div>
<div><br></div><div>You are right about the size of the package! But, it is a good idea to document all these procedures I did! This procedure for connecting to Oracle had to be explicit in the QGIS documentation!</div><div>
The ordinary user of GIS does not know about this! So, he will prefer to use a easier software! Often a commercial software!</div><div><br></div><div>Sandro.</div><div><br></div>
