Hi, I am currently assessing the feasibility of moving our MapInfo dataset to an Oracle 8i back-end database. Does anybody out there have any experience of using Oracle 8i to store GIS data. I am particularly interested in the performance of spatial queries, multi-user capabilities, No. of Oracle concurrent licences required, and what the trade-offs in terms of licence requirements over performance are when using linked or live tables. Thanks, Andrew Hayes GIS Analyst/Programmer Wakefield MDC > Web: http://www.wakefield.gov.uk/ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 01924-(30)5440 Fax: 01924-(30)5424 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
