Gidday Listers, I am just starting in the world of MI and am redeveloping GIS application currently in MicroStation/Access to MapInfo. I wish to hold the attribute data in a remote, corporate Oracle (7.3) database, but I am having problems finding ways I can establish an edittable link between the spatial data and the attribute data. MI (5.5) seems to need to interact with a table, rather than a view, and to have an index, and in any case, as soon as I join the attribute data to the spatial data with a query, I can only read the attributes for each polygon/region. The attributes become un-edittable. At least part of the problem seems to be because I have a 1-to-many relationship between the polygons and the attributes; even when the attribute table is a true MapInfo table, if I join it to the table of regions (with a query) I cannot edit the data. Is there something simple I have missed or is this type of structure inappropriate for a GIS application? I would be grateful for any pointers.
