No stops in the southern hemisphere ?

Traditionally (and as I explain to my kids) Santa comes between midnight and
dawn local time.
But if you apply this constraint to Santa's route we will then need a good

Actually you shouldn't want to remove the parantheses. It would be better to

Hello!
I tryed to do the same thing, with the same result. But if you want to create a
circle, you can buffer a point. Then the object will be a polygon. And Oracle
will accept the circle polygon.

Basically I had a mapbasic program allowing users to create regions and
to save em in oracle spatial. Simple shapes (circle, square, etc..) was
causing errors when commiting to oracle. So I used the function
ConvertToRegion(object) to solve that problem..

I believe Oracle Spatial stores circles as 'Optimized Polygons' which are
represented by 3 distinct points on the circumference, so Antoine's response
makes some sense.

Hi list,
Does anyone know how to emulate the Table-Geocode operation in MapBasic?

of all zip code centroids, I can choose Table-Geocode and have the zip
code list inherit the objects from the centroid file, where the
Hi to Pablo, Gilbert Ake, and Keith,
See if you can get a copy of Oracle Spatial User's Guide and Reference Rel
9.2 (Part A96630-01).
This gives examples of how to get objects into Oracle Spatial using 9i's SQL
code. It does support circles, you just cannot load them as such from
MapInfo.
