RE: MI-L Oracle 8i + Spatial Option

[Stanley Ng]

Hi, Alejandro,   It is fine with English OS and English character display on map. But we have problem in display double byte Hong Kong characters in MapXtreme Java 3.0 connecting to Oracle 8.1.6 i Spatial. Be careful about your local character set if you have, especially on SUN Solaris.   We tested in SUN Solaris and Window NT. It is slower on SUN Solaris, (but Oracle does not provide good local support here in Hong Kong who about how to turn it up on SUN, their local people just are not experience with Oracle Spatial here).    At start up you need some time (it means not so quick) to process thousands of records in Oracle and also need to fine turn the indexing in order to speed up.   You may try various indexing strategy to suit your setup and  map + data set.   Stanley Ng Director City Country Consultancy Limited Rm 1103, Kingsfield Centre, 18 Shell Street, Fortress Hill, Hong Kong.
