Hi, PostGIS manual page has a useful chapter about what rights GDAL user needs
" You must have permissions on all tables you want to read and geometry_columns and spatial_ref_sys. Misleading behavior may follow without an error message if you do not have permissions to these tables. Permission issues on geometry_columns and/or spatial_ref_sys tables can be generally confirmed if you can see the tables by setting the configuration option PG_LIST_ALL_TABLES to YES. (e.g. ogrinfo --config PG_LIST_ALL_TABLES YES PG:xxxxx) " Oracle Spatial manual page http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_oci.html is missing this information. I have also a feeling that with Oracle there are more tables and views and Oracle system stuff involved. Is here anybody who could tell what rights GDAL user must have for a) read access b) read and write access? It would be ideal to have a comprehensive list that could be given for the ever friendly DB admins GRANT [privileges] ON [object_1] TO [user] GRANT [privileges] ON [object_2] TO [user] ... -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
