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.
