Robert,
you need to be careful with the version ofEasyLoader and the Oracle version
you are using. Oracle 8.1.5 and Oracle 8.1.6 handle spatial objects
differently, so the EasyLoader that works for 8.1.5 wont work for 8.1.6.
Download the latest EasyLoader from the MapInfo site (V6.6) and you
shouldn't have any problems.

Also, an Oracle 8.1.7 client shoud read an 8.1.6 database fine. As far as I
am aware, 8.1.7 handles satial objects the same as 8.1.6. You might find it
interesting to know though, that with the MapInfo 6 patch you can actually
have feature level styles stored in the database. This means that you don't
have to have all of the objects on one layer be the same style.

Subject: MI-L MI: Info on operation of Easyloader
We're having some problems using Easyloader 6.5 onto an Oracle 8.16 DB on
Linux, using a 8.17 Client on NT. Easyloader was working until we ran
scripts to enable the spatial indexes and system tables.
When you try to connect to the oracle database using Easyloader 6.5, it
tries (lights on Oracle Server flash), but just does not give the option of
selecting tables to upload. No error messages are displayed. When trying
to connect with ODBC, you get an error - unsupported data source.
An old version of Easyloader 4 let us get further, it actually uploaded the
table but crashed on the spatial index.
What we are trying to confirm is if Easyloader talks directly to the Oracle
Call Interface and if this could be the source of the problem, or if it is
in the Oracle database setup.
Is there any tech docs on details on how easyloader works, what other
programs it relies on for its operation, and what it is using so that we can
try to determine the source of ths problem. It is not working bu does not
give any error messages, so it is hard to work out what is wrong.
We are going to try using scripts from a previous installation on 8.15 that
were successful later.
