Re: [MI-L] Merging Layers
Hi Stephen! I'm a bit confused as to what you are trying to do here. But this is how I understand it: First you append TAB2 to TAB1, and that is no problem. But you get a number of overlapping region objects. I assume that your tabs contain a large number of regions. In order to find a total area you try to combine or merge all the objects in TAB1+2 to one object. Well, this may well provoke geometrical errors due to 1/ the number of nodes involved and /2 the overlapping objects. Let me suggest some other approaches. Keeping the two tables apart, make an SQL select to find the overlapping objects and save those as a third table. Then you can use the geometry cleaning tools to simplify the geometry and weed out overlapping entities. Or you could try to run a cleaning on the table as a whole. One thing you should try to bring down is node density. I think this would be the most efficient step on the way to reduce the overall size of the data set. To find the total area, use an SQL select with the Sum function on the area of the objects - Sum(Area(obj, sq mi)) Even if this was brief, I hope it helps in some way.

I have 2 x Map Layers [tab] files. [tab1 = 18MB][tab2 = 8MB]. About 75% of TAB2 overlaps TAB1. I want to copy TAB2 onto TAB1 then combine/ merge the two TABS to give one layer from which I can calculate total area. The problem I have is the combine constantly results in errors where I loose the entire layer and all records within the underlying table are lost. The copy from TAB2 to TAB1 works perfectly and all is visible. Just the combine is causing a problem. I am assuming this error is due to the number of vertices which I have had problems with in Arcview. Is there any way I can overcome this. Has anyone come across this similar problem before? I can say, which might helpunderstand what I am trying to do. I want to calculate the amount of GSM coverage in Oman and distribute the MIF file in as small a file as possible. With the layers merged I eliminate all the duplicated info.

RE: [MI-L] Speed up opening tables
Philip, The interesting question is what actual is taking the time. Is it opening the tables, showing these in a mapper or setting the layer settings for the layers ? I would recommend, that you add some MapBasic code to a copy of your workspace to make some speed testing. At the top of the workspace you write this (written in bold): ** !Workspace !Version 400 !CharSet WindowsLatin1 Dim nTime As Integer nTime = Timer() ** Now whenever you want to see how much tiime has been used, you can write some thing like this: ** ... Open Table "C:\HereAreMyTable\MyTable.Tab" As MyTable Print "Tables opened: " + (Timer() - nTime) + " secs" ... ** And at the bottom of the workspace, you write: ** ... Undim nTime ** I have used this method to track down speed issues before. I mostly put the timing before the Map >From and Set Map statements. One thing that might be time consuming is the default view of the tablee first put into the map. This table will decide how thee map, should appear and how large a zoom will be used. This has been a problem is previous versions of MapInfo, but it should have been fixed with the latest patch for MapInfo 8.0 HTH, Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Re: [MI-L] Workspace not opening all the way
Valerie,
Sounds like there's a query embedded in the workspace, for which the
SQL syntax is incorrect. Specifically, there may be a problem with
whether all parentheses occur in pairs of one opening "(" and one
closing ")"
You may want to open the workspace in a text
editor and examine any SQL statements you find.

RE: [MI-L] MapInfo Pro - Oracle Spatial
I guess you are adding a new record to the table ? If so the problem is that you need to enter a unique value into the column MI_PRINX. The best solution would of course be to add a trigger in the Oracle database, that using a Sequence will update this column for you. This is one of the few things that should be fixed to make the interoperability between MapInfo and Oracle better.

RE: [MI-L] sql select
Robert,
Another way, that works regardless of
whether or not either table is mappable is a query of this form:
Tables {TableA}
Where {ID in (select ID from TableB)}
Or:
Tables {TableB}
Where {ID in (select ID from TableA)}

List,
I'm having a problem with a selection query. I have 2 tables both
editable with a common column named ID. Table B is my
deleted records which I want to find in table A to delete.
When I run the following sql select statement-
Select * from Table A, Table B where Table A.ID = Table B.ID
It selects the records, but only from Table B, not from Table A which is the
table I need to delete them from. I also tried switching around the
table order (Select * from Table B, Table A where Table B.ID = Table A.ID), but
it still only selects records from Table B, not table A.
How can I get it to select the records in Table A, not the records in Table B?

RE: [MI-L] Mr Sid Image Error(s)
Perhaps it is due to a MrSID block-size error? Apparently this causes problems with a range of software, including LizardTechs own GeoExpress (prior to the Feb2006 patches). Recently this free utility (from LizardTech) was useful to me MrSID Blocksize Reset Utility for MG3 Files This command line utility resets the blocksize of an input MrSID image. A blocksize of 64 is recommended as optimal for MG3-encoded image files. Resetting the MG3 blocksize to 64 may alleviate memory problems encountered when attempting to view composite mosaic files in third-party applications. Instructions for Use: Once downloaded this tool can be executed from the Windows command line via the following command: mrsidoptimize -i source_image -o output_image -bs 64 Running this utility does not affect the quality, size, or properties of your data. The only change will be that a composite image composed of files whose blocksize has been reset will use less memory upon decoding. It is downloadable from here I havent been following closely any of the MrSID threads here, but it may be helpful to some others to massage the .SIDs. Note that SID files come in a couple of flavours (Generations) MG2 and MG3. This utility applies only to MG3. Theres a free utility that will give info including Generation.

An alternative (a better one than a GeoTiff export, in my opinion) would be to convert to ECW format, which is a better format than either SID or TIF.
