Hi,
regarding OracleLocator/Spatial:
in the QGIS developer version there will be native Oracle support -
Jürgen Fischer will be working on it (contract with Province Vorarlberg
and City of Dornbirn). I don't know the exact dates when it will be
available, but probably late autumn, early winter 2012.

HI Alistair,
Good point, I didn't think about sending the data via WFS, but the
problem there is you've got yet another intermediate layer to set up
and maintain (ArcSDE one too many if you ask me!). A direct connect
would obviate that problem which is why its our preferred solution.
The fewer pieces of middleware we need to support and maintain, the
better.
Thanks though,
Jonathan

Hi List,
I'm investigating QGIS as a possible suplement to our corporate
systems
(ArcGIS/MapInfo). We store all of our vector data in an Oracle
Locator
> database and can either connect to it directly or through ArcSDE.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem that QGIS is able to natively
connect to
either of these.
I've done some brief searching, but most of the results point to
> qgis.orgwhich isn't responding for me currently. What I can find
suggests
that most things want to go either either OGR or GDAL as an
intermediary
layer, but I'm concerned these will greatly slow down data loading
(some

Did you make any progress with this after the server came back up?
I guess you are using Windows (not that I would recommend doing so
:) ).
The gdal-sde plugins I posted on the old forum don't work with the
latest gdal. But I extracted some new ones from
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.0.6.zip [4] and they seem to
work fine (I finally found a publicly accessible server that I could
successfully test with!).
So my question is simple - what would be the optimal way for QGIS
to read
this data (we're not interested in writing)?
Can your server not provide WFS? If you could enable it easily on
the server I would have thought that would be the easiest and most
flexible option.
