proprietary lib, which is however freely downloadable from Oracle. In any
case this is required by the OGR driver too.
PS: The OGR Oracle driver is quite unusable at now. It's very

Hi Nathan
I also think that a native QGIS provider (subclass of QgsVectorDataProvider)
for MS SQL 2008 would be a great thing. The reason to go for a native driver
(and not via OGR) are the same as with PostGIS:
- performance is better (less conversion)
- even with the OGR driver, it needs wor
Hi all,
There has been some interest from a company here in Australia to develop a
MS SQL driver/provider for QGIS. IMO this is a good move as most
local governments, where I work and where I push my QGIS agenda, pretty much
