Shapefile Converter  SQL*Loader  MapServer Query? Is that all it takes?

 Tim,
 I didn't know you could do geom from... without Oracle Spatial, so
 this is great!

 This is my current compilation:
 MapServer version 4.8.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
 OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
 SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
 SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS
 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
 DEBUG=MSDEBUG

 I don't see any Oracle support. Could you shed some light on how to
 enable that? And how do you insert geom into Oracle Locator without
 Oracle Spatial- what tools?

 So as I understand, Oracle Spatial allows geoprocessing type queries
 (buffer, nearest, shortest) while Oracle Locator doesn't allow any
 thing that but does display geom (point, line, polygon, (raster)).
 Correct?? I just want to take a shapefile, insert it and then display
 its filtered set.
 Cheers, Bill

 The key here is that you need to have MapServer compiled with Oracle
 Spatial support. And you can see from my data line that that I do
 standard Oracle SQL statements for building my spatial results. I'm not
 using any shapefiles in this instance. The spatial data is actually
 stored right in the database table. There are tools to import shapefiles
 into Oracle. If your data is points you can build insert statements to
 populated your geometry columns. You're probably going to want to do
 some reading up on Oracle spatial.

 This is exciting news! I am using Oracle 10g and get Oracle Locator
 free but how do I map data from Oracle Locator? Are you doing a
 JOIN+FILTER? Can you share a LAYER snippet from your MAP file?

 What is the best way to map attribute data (non-geom) from Oracle (not

 Can I do this?

 If not, what is the best way around?
 * Spend $$$ for Oracle Spatial
 * Nightly convert attribute data to shapefile
 * Nightly convert attribute data to PostGIS

 Any thoughts on the maintenance cost for each?
