Hello, of course we are seriously working with Oracle Spatial.
Our main buisness is integrating data from different data models (german ALK, TeleAtlas and Navtech Street Data in GDF, and technical data from Energy - Suppliers, into one Oracle database. We do that with our own converter-software CITRA and we can change the data model in Oracle so that the user can access the same database with MapInfo, Geomedia, Arcview/SDE and even Autodesk MapGuide. There is a lot of Know how in the different systems needed to achieve that, if anyone has special questions he can drop me an email. We held Workshops for this theme. And yes..., we are able to change the coordinates so that MapInfo can see them as real WGS84 degrees.
