This is a known "feature". You can use the find function on Oracle Spatial Tables, if you use linked/download instead of Live access. With linked tables you can add an index on columns. The problem is that MapInfo needs a index on the table to search and MapInfo can't use the Oracle index for this

One of our users has pointed out to me that they cannot use the Query / Find function when using Oracle Spatial tables. Is this a common problem and is this something our DBA can do to rectify this problem. The Query / Find function works perfectly with MapInfo tables in their native format. Any solutions or suggestions would be useful. Thanks.
