Shape to Oracle was:Re: [Mapserver-users] Alessandro

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I would note that OGR also now supports Oracle Spatial.  So 'ogr2ogr' could
be used to load Oracle Spatial from shapefiles, or any other OGR supported
input format.  The driver is not in GDAL/OGR 1.1.8, so if you want it
download the nightly CVS snapshot.

Note the Oracle Spatial driver is undergoing continued work in the hopes
of achieving better loading performance.

The OGR connector could also be used in MapServer for Oracle Spatial
support; however, I would presume the custom Oracle layer support in
MapServer would be higher performance since there is one less intermediate
layer of translation taking place.

Best regards,
