Alan, I think the problem is that the table MapInfo_MapCatalog hasn't been created in the database. You can easily create this table using the DBMS Catalog tool that you'll find in the Tool Manager.

But when I try to make the table mappable (using Lat/Long fields and index type XYCoordinates) I get an error back from the ODBC driver "Invalid Object name 'MAPINFO.MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG", followed by "The table you have chosen cannot be made mappable. To be made mappable the table must contain a spatial column or at least 2 numeric columns".
