Re: MI limit on file size

Title: MI limit on file size



Amanda,

You may like to check a few things becuase I do not 
know a file size limit. (doesn't mean to say there isn't one 
though!)

The first being have you enough diskspace? 


How is the table being created? If via an insert 
statement then make sure you are turning the fastedit on undo off to stop the 
tranaction tables being created.

If you are creating a table on say drive D what is the 
disk space available to the temp directory - Sometimes MI can create large 
~map.tmp files. 

If you doing a number of selects to create the table make 
sure the ~map.tmp files do not exceed 1 or MI will stop. use select into 
syntax for each table.

I hope this helps

Martin

Re: MI read only layer

2000-08-27 Thread Martin Hodder

Hi,

You may also want to open the TAB file of the table causing the problem and
see if the keyword READONLY is present. If so then you will need to remove
this to stop the table being read only every time you open the table.

Martin

 Hi,

 In some cases, you wrote a  read only file into your hard disk.
 For example, you get data from CD-ROM.

 So it become read only in the work space. But there may
 be some other reason which I do not know about.

 Hi all,

 I have a question regarding read-only layer.  Yesterday I added several
 layers into the workspace.  It worked fine.  I saved the workspace and
then
 went home.  Today, when I re-open the workspace, I got the error message
 "some layers are read only". (It is not the first time I got this error
 message.) The layers were added by the tools we developed.  It happens to
 both thematic layers and regular layer.  Any ideas/suggestions are really
 appreciated!!!

Re: MI Lines to points

2000-07-25 Thread Martin Hodder

Grant,

You want to use a combination of ObjectInfo(obj,OBJ_INFO_NPNTS) to get the
number of points in the line

And then use ObjectNodeX and ObjectNodeY to get the coordinates.

Do email if you need any more help - i have assumed that you have Mapbasic.

It should also be possible to do this directly in Mapinfo.

Regards

Martin

Hi.

Time ago I heard that mapinfo can be started with several parameters, as

mapinfow.exe -helpdiag asks mapinfo to show help context id for each dialog.

Is there a way to launch mapinfo without the initial splash screen, the one
that reads "MapInfo. The world's premier desktop mapping solution"

Is there somewhere a complete list of valid parameters?   I've tried
mapinfow.exe /?  and -?

Thanks for your reply.

RE: MI Expression too complex

1999-10-20 Thread Martin Hodder

Xu,

I wonder if you could change your Sql statement to use the in clause

So the string would be bt_no in( val1, val2, val,3 etc

I also think  that even though you can get 32K in a string variable it can
only be appended to in 256 byte chunks. So just check that TS is not greater
than 256 after 35 additions to the string

RE: Installing MI 5.5

1999-09-02 Thread Martin Hodder

Tim,

I had exactly the same error message after I installed Mi5.5 !

The solution is to delete the MIDLOCI.DLL from the directory which contains
MapInfo. This is apparently the DLL used for Oracle Spatial and the error
occurs because oracle spatial is not installed on the client machine

I hope this helps

Subject:Installing MI 5.5

Dear mappers,

I've just tried upgrading from MI 4.5 to 5.5 on a Pentium PC running Windows
95 4.00.950 B.  It seemed to install OK but now when I start it up I get a
message saying that MIDLOCI.DLL or dependent drivers have not been found.
If I click OK MI will then start and it seems to run as normal, although I
haven't yet had a chance to try many of the functions.
Can anyone tell me if this missing file is important?  If it is, where can I
get it from? If it isn't, how can I get rid of the message on start-up?
The MIPro.exe is currently in C:\program files\mapinfo\professional
as was the old one.

Thanks in advance,

message :-

I have checked and the file is there. I have removed the installation and

However when you click OK MapInfo continues and I can still open DBMS
tables. 

I am Running NT4.0  workstation with service pack 3

Do you have any ideas on what is happening ?

  File: ATT0.html  Hi all,
Student links list is coming along slowly, thanks again for all your links 
(still want more), hope to be up and running soon.

I have a couple of questions to ask of you all

1) In a recent conversation I was asked if I was going to incorporate a basic 
"What is GIS section". I am aware of  the many sites out there that give 
numerous definitions. What I would be interested in is the definitions that you 
the users would give, be they deeply serious or deeply silly and frivolous (for 
time of stress I have already Goddam Imbecilic Software). You never know you 
might end up being quoted on many a College Students first GIS paper.

2)We are looking to purchase Mapinfo compatible Landscape Visualisation 
Software, I have had a look at Woollysofts GenesisII package and it seems to 
fit the bill. Would be interested in hearing from anybody who has used it in a 
commercial capacity and also if anyone has recommendations for other packages.

Many Thanks
