Hi

Technically, I think it is better to write a native driver, because
- the OGR model is not 100% identical with the QGIS one. E.g. one table can contain multiple geometry types, OGR has datasource/layer model, ... (probably more that I don't recall now). Providing a proper mapping between OGR model and QGIS model requires more effort than a native driver - more direct geometry transfer with native driver, thus better performance (with OGR driver, geometry is converted into OGR geometry first)

Regards,
Marco

What about moving the founding to improve the Oracle driver inside GDAL?
The OCI driver would need some refactoring, as it was stated time ago by Frank.

This would provide a benefit also to the other sw using GDAL/OGR, and would solve the problem of the license (I suppose)

    Hi All,
    very interested in such a feature too!

    If you do it, don't forget to offer an access to attribute tables
    (non SDO
    ones) . many users just open a geographical table and a attribute
    table, and
    join them to map datas..
