Judging from your 'counties table with a column geom' it doesn't appear =
to me you're using Oracle Spacial option.  You will need to have that =
option to work with MapServer.  Is your 'geom' column of data type =
SDO_GEOMETRY?
=20
You have to make sure Oracle Spacial option is in the database.  By =
default, when spacial option is installed you'll have an MDSYS user id =
and schema associated with that user.  If you don't see that, you'll =
have to install it first.  You should have an 'md' directory under =
$ORACLE_HOME.  Under md there is an admin directory which contains all =
installation scripts.
=20
Your map file looks OK if your counties is a table contain geom column =
which is of SDO_GEOMETRY data type.

  NAME counties
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS default
  MAXSCALE 1000000
  CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
  CONNECTION 'scott/tiger@PHAR'
  DATA "GEOM from counties"
  CLASS
    NAME 'county'
    COLOR 220 224 230

You need to compile MapServer with oraclespacial.
=20
Your Oracle RDBMS needs to have Spacial option loaded.  Hopefully you've =
already got this part, it is a good learning curve if you havn't.
=20
What web server are you using?  You might need to modify the =
configuration a little.
=20
Once you have all the correct environment and settings it WILL work.  =
I'm running MapServer on a Mandrake Linux server accessing Oracle 8.0.5 =
data on a UnixWare server through CGI.

Hi Everyone,
=20
Is there anyway to connect to Oracle 8.1.7 database on Solaris via =
Mapserver?
I've compiled Mapserver with Postgress, but have no idea how to do it =
for Oracle now!
=20
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me to right documentation =
or just give me some codes!!!!
=20
Looking forward for your replies
=20
Regards
Nida.
