Hi While we're usually working with a PostGIS database, for a specific project we're thinking about connecting from QGIS to an Oracle Database this time. This should basically be possible. However, our QGIS runs on Ubuntu 14.04, and it seems that the Oracle client installation isn't quite straightforward on Ubuntu. The instructions on e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client suggest to convert RPM packages from Oracle with alien, which I don't feel comfortable about for a production system.
In order to get a feel if working this way is wise, I'd like to know if there is anybody of you using QGIS with an Oracle client on Ubuntu in a production environment? Do you consider it reasonable? Or would it be crazy to implement such a setup? Does anybody know if there exist any original Ubuntu packages of the Oracle client? Thanks for your valuable input.
