Ah, someone may ask where is the second one. Well, the second about how the Oracle data store sucks, so bad that cannot be fixed. I guess it depends on what kind of fix we're after. The postgis data store, from the user point of view, is our top notch jdbc data store. Yet the internal structure is more or less the same as the Oracle data store. So, basically all JDBC data store do suck on the architecture point of view. What makes Oracle really bad is the amount of grave bugs that infest it. Yet, to make it as good as PostGIS, all we need is someone who goes thru the unrewarding process of fixing all of them in the current architecture. Then we would have a data store which is just as good as the current Postgis one. Bad in the eyes of the OO designer, good in the eyes of a user that does not give a damn about how it's made, provided that it works. That is, black box versus white box. As a Geoserver mantainer, give me an Oracle black box that works any day, interfaces are there so that I don't need to wonder about the internal structure, and users will stop pestering me because some silly thing does not work :-) Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
