MI oracle 8i connectivity
Listers, I am trying to connect to my oracle8i database via the " open DBMS" option and the problem is that it does not give me a live connectivity. I have to download the table as a .tab file and then work with it and this makes me loose all the data integrity / security. I was told that it is a live connectivity in 5.5. Could someone tell me the process of connecting (if I am doing anything wrong) or a way around for this. Nother problem is with the inporting (using universal translator) of microstation data. The data with our client is in microstation and with a projection "indian polyconic - Everest". When I give these options and try to get it in a .tab format, I just get a straight line. The projection system is confirmed and there is no problem in microstation. Also, is there any way to import the data linked to the object when I get it in the .tab format.

MI - Date function
MI-Listers, Okay people, how much do you know about Date functions in MI? Is it possible to select a row from Table1 where the date is within 10 days (for example) from another row in Table2? As far as I can tell, I can only select rows based on month, day of the week, day or year.

Re: MI Table .ID .DAT problem files
I've run into this problem twice for two different reasons. 1. I moved the folder containing the map. 2. I used the Mac Affee uninstaller which erased all my "unused" .dat files (thankfully I had a back up). Not much help but those are my two examples.

MI SUM Inverse Selection
Thanks to all who found the time to answer my question. I had asked how I can invert a selection to be able to save time in finding rows from one table with no match in a second table (find the matching rows and invert the selection). Here are the responses: 1. There is a tool on the Directions Mag site which inverts current selection. This tool wasn't very helpful for me, because it inverts the selection in a way that it selects all objects which don't intersect the selected objects. My table holds the same objects multiple times with different attributes and therefore the inverse selection wasn't really inverse. And it is not faster than the original sql statement select * from table1 where col1 not in (select col1 from table2) 2. select * from table1 where col1 all(select col1 from selection) This actually does an inverse selection but it is not faster than the original sql statement select * from table1 where col1 not in (select col1 from table2). Col1 also has to be an unique field. 3. Make a copy of table1 then select * from table1, table2 where table1.col1 = table2.col1 into TMP When the TMP browser appears, hit the delete key. The only records that remain are the ones with no match in table2 (they weren't selected.) This works perfect but by the time I received this answer I had already found my own work around. My work around: Add a column to table1 and set the value to zero. Select * from table1,table2 where table1.col1 = table2.col1 Update added column for the selection with 1 Select * from table where added column = 0 Delete added column Silke Keuerleber PTV AG Verkehrstelematik Softwareentwicklung Tel.: +49 7 21 96 51- 465 Fax:+49 7 21 96 51- 693 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PTV Planung Transport Verkehr AG Stumpfstrasse 1 76131 Karlsruhe Germany http://www.ptv.de http://www.reiseplanung.de http://www.varta-guide.de http://www.cityguidefinder.de -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MI Clipping region and zero length line objects
Yannick, What version of MI Pro are you using? In the soon to be released MI Pro 6.0, the Clip Region feature has a new option which allows the Windows Display Device to perform the Clip Region functionality. There is a good chance that using this feature will allow your scheme to work. If you are using MI Pro 5.5, then the processing for Clip Region is always an Erase Outside operation (or MapBasic Overlap() function, which is the same under the covers). In this operation, there is a pre-processing step to remove duplicate nodes. In your case, your zero length line segments are comprised to 2 duplicate nodes. So, the processing throws one of them away, which leaves a one point line. Since there is no such entity as a one point line, the object will be discarded and ignored. Basically, you are using bad data (a zero length line), and the operation is filtering it out. Selection has been and continues to be done outside the Clip Region Processing. Select any object, regardless if it is completely inside the clip region, completely outside the clip region, or actually cut by the clip region, and the entire original object will be highlighted.

Because I need only linear object in a table for thematic purpose, I convert point objects to zero length line objects using : Update my table set obj = CreateLine(CentroidX(obj), CentroidY(obj), CentroidX(obj), CentroidY(obj)). I was not sure that it was going to work. It did like I expect it to. But it does not work with zero length polylines. My goal was to override the style with a thick line that was going to mimic a circular symbol. Until now, everything is fine. It gets strange when I set a clipping region. All my zero length objects are no longer visible, inside or outside the clipping region. They are still selectable, I can see the highlight but cannot see them when not selected. I set the clipping region to OFF, and they are visible again. I suppose it has to do with the way objects are processed when they are clipped. It's a very singular object, a line with the start and end nodes at the same coordinate. Someone has a piece of explanation to offer?

You don't need MapBasic, but you do need to know the magic words.
Open the MapBasic window and enter this:
Set Window Info Font ("MS Sans Serif",0,12,0)
The default size is 9, but the font size is controlled by third
parameter (the 12). The first 0 is the font style (0 = normal, 1
= bold, etc.), the last 0 is the color.

MI Drawing Custom Sector Symbols for Cellular Sites
Hey list, I had asked the following question last week, but I did not receive much feedback. Therefore, I was going to ask again. Sorry for asking redundant questions, but I am in need of some help at this point. I need a way to represent sectors of a cellular site on a map so that I can associate cellular traffic with it. I know of two ways to obtain this process, but I do not know how to do it. 1) You can use the site's lat/long, the orientation of the antenna (sector), the beamwidth of the antenna, and some trigonometry to draw the sectors. or 2) You can create custom symbols for each sector and map out the sector depending on the sector number in your data. I am looking to obtain code snippets of how to do either (or both) of these solutions. I am stuck at this point and any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

If the contours are closed (and non-overlapping) polygons you should use the Region to Grid function in VM. If your lines are simple lines or the polygons overlap, it would be best to extract all of the nodes along those lines into a new points table (with all of the attributes found in your lines.tab). Use the Poly-to-Point function in VM. Create a grid off of the points.tab, make a 3-D drape file and you're on your way!

RE: MI I was going to invest.... but ??
The suspicous investor or lurker could think one of several things: 1) He knows something we do not - likely. 2) He is about to jump ship and decided to maximize his options - doubtfull 3) He is a wiley-old dog who knows when the marketplace was a tad overvalued - most likely. 4) He has decided to invest in pecan plantations in Argentia - doubtfull. 5) OR Something really big is cooking for MapInfo's future and to make as clean a deal as possible he has eliminated any conflict of interest or personal agendia - most likely. So Bill, try to keep a positive attitude. It was not too long ago you were very down on MapInfo's swing towards Internetization of its products. I kind of like the idea that Oracle has decieded to deliver MapJ stuff directly and that Oracle is an alternative to the MicroBorg vision of our future. MapInfo is a sound "growth" investment for small company investment ($100 mill.) Given the players that MapInfo seems to be running with the managemnt team I believe is hightly concerned about being and looking squeeky clean. Strong Balance and Income sheets plus all of the very smart alliance moves that John's team have buildt have signifiucant merit.
