Gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies. They are appreciated.
Thus far I have determined that you can use MIPro 5.5 if you do not convert
the data sets to 8.2 and DO install the scripts to keep the user schema
"sdo_geom_metadata" up to date. However, if you do any processing on
Oracle, the results will not be compatible with MI5.5. I also agree that
easyloader 4.3 will not upload to Oracle 8.2. I wonder when MI will upgrade
it to Oracle 8.2 (MI Tech Support - You listening???).
I am now working with MIPro6beta & Oracle 8.2. I discovered that although
Oracle says you that can upgrade from 8.1.5 to 8.2, it is better to exp the
db, drop it and create a new 8.2 instance and db. The updated db crashes
the client and generates a core dump when executing complex custom oracle
procedures with embedded SDO commands. These procedures worked fine in 8.1.5
and required several minor changes for 8.2. Oracle actually seemed to work
better with an 8.0.5 client than with a 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 client. Ah, the
wonderful world of Oracle.......
Other than this discussion list, MapInfo's web site has next to no technical
resources on MI-Oracle issues. Oracle's web site is huge, cumbersome and
also has very little on Spatial. Would either of you know if there are other
MIPro - Oracle Spatial specific resources, out there?
If so, where?
If not, maybe we could start one???
Your thoughts?
Best regards,
Martin Rothman
