Dear list,a colleague of mine noticed that field definitions of a layer will change when that layer is exported to Oracle Spatial. For example, if a column of the shapefile to be exported was of type "integer" it will be "real" after exporting (and re-importing to shape-format). Also, field length is changed to a higher value. This has an additional negative effect: the dbf-file will become much bigger (size of the file)
Is this a bug?
Best, Wolfgang(ps: the attached screenshots show the differences: first table: original, second: oracle spatial layer; btw, strange that no type is marked for former integer fields! I checked it again after importing back to shapefile - there, manage fields dialogue says: field ist integer (ogrinfo says: real))
