Hi Christopher , I experienced similar problems.
For me it seems as if MapInfo tries to use the information about the spatial stuff (probably user_sdo_geom_metadata ore some whatever v$ views) to figure out the spatial metadata. However, this fails if you are using a view on a spatial table because for the view this metadata is not there. > Does MapInfo support Oracle Views? im afraid not, if they contain spatial columns. BTW: it also fails, if you are creating a 1:1 view of a alphanumeric table and trying to use it "live" (ie not importing the stuff into MI but doing a connect to fetch the data as it is needed). MI simply complains that the table (which is a view in fact) does not have a primary key. I reckon, that is somehow bad use of v$ views in the way, trying to fingure out the primary key by table name. As a view does not have one (why should it?), MI fails here. If you find a solution, let me know. > Wayville SA 5034 Ah, I lived in Goodwood SA 5036 some years ago. cheers christof --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 6060
