Hi All,
I am currently testing MapInfo 5.5 and 6.0 with Oracle 8.1.6 for a project
feasibility study and have a few questions:
 
I believe MapInfo Professional 6.0 does not support all of the additional
geometry types of the object-relational model in Oracle 8.1.6 ?
(Oracle 8.1.6 supports the following geometries: Rectangles, Circles, Arc
Line Strings, Arc Polygon, Compound Polygon and Compound LineString)
Is it the case ?
For example, is it possible to look at ways to implement reading/display of a
compound polygon from an Oracle 8i database (consisting of regular line
segments and circular arcs, defined by 3 points and a direction) ?
 
If this cannot be done directly is there any way through MapBasic to be able
to read the objects nodes and arcs and try to implement the shape by adding
arcs to polylines and converting to region for display purposes ?
 
This is a really important feature because the number of points in the Oracle
database for the compound polygons needs to be very small for the project I
am investigating. Unfortunatly, region objects cannot be used.
 
Another quick question: Is MapInfo 5.5 only supporting Oracle Spatial 8.1.5 ?
 
Any help or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
