forwarded from user list, as there was no response there.

Any experience here?

Hi List,

what is the current status of qgis abilities to connect to Oracle and
show (edit????) it's geometries?
I've stumbled upon Stephan's plugin (somewhere around version 0.8
looking at the screenshots):
http://www.holl-land.de/blog/index.php/2006/12/23/oracle-plugin-for-qgis/

But I'm not aware of current possibilities or problems.

Anybody with experiences can say something about this?

TIA, regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

You need a OGR compiled with Oracle support.

I took a quick look.  I think that allows to browse the database for
geometry tables, select the one you'd like to add and then creates an
URI for the OGR driver and create a vector layer with it.

There's also the ogr plugin branch with also does something like that,
but for more OGR drivers (eg. mysql).

But given a Oracle enabled GDAL and knowing the URI syntax you need to
access the Oracle table/OGR layer you want, you might get away with a
simple plugin that allows to specify an URI and tries to add a vector
layer using it.
