We are currently in the process of examining what solution to use to spatially enable our Oracle Database and I invite all to voice their preferences and experiences with ESRI and MapInfo enterprise GIS solutions. Currently the box is as follows... Sun E450 Server Sun Solaris 2.6 2GB RAM A3500LT Drive Array (~45GB) Oracle 8.0.5 Immediate need (4-6 weeks) Organize data by location. Basic point in polygon and within a distance of type of queries for displaying data. Medium term need (2-4 months) Internal spatial data analysis and mapping for business and marketing functions Longer term goals (4 months to 1 year) Internet map serving and routing I am comfortable with ESRI products as I have been an ArcInfo/ArcView user and developer for the past 4 years. My initial research into MapInfo as an enterprise solution has sparked some interest in a shift. I like the integration with Oracle 8i Spatial and was impressed with test drives of MapXtreme and MapX web sites. Any and all input, biased and unbiased comparisons, of all aspects of ESRI vs. MapInfo as an enterprise solution with Oracle as the DBMS for spatial data are welcome and desired. I WILL SUMMARIZE. Thanks in advance.
