Re: [Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?
Hi Patrick. Sorry for the late reply, I had a small accident and I was nailed to bed for a while. I just installed 2.14, but cannot find even a mention of ODBC. Could you please point out where it is? -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-User-f4125267.html ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?
I mainly use QGIS to connect to 8 Oracle DBs and work on a dataset of about 200 spatial tables, each one having 1.5 - 26 mil. rows of fairly complex polygons. It's a production system (all but 2 DBs) and I've being using Oracle OCI (or thin client with some tools) from the start - 9 years now (I also use other tools for spatial SQL). All these years I was working on Windows and I had no problem with QGIS supporting Oracle. That's why I haven't ever needed to consider ODBC or anything else - so, I really have no clue as to how ODBC compares to OCI/thin (in terms of functionality and speed, mainly). I guess it's worth investigating. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

OK, I see. Anyway, thanks for your time and patience...

Re: [Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?
From what I've read, I formed the impression that Linux QGIS never had and never will have out-of-the-box Oracle support, because of the licensing/downloading intricacies of Oracle. That last sentence of yours, revived my hope... Has there been Oracle support in a previous QGIS? I'd prefer working with a reasonably older QGIS with Oracle in Linux, until time comes... -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-User-f4125267.html ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi Patrick I understand your point on VMs. What I was trying to say was that, since a VM consumes a certain amount of RAM/CPU for the OS, and since I already have a windows VM in my box, there's no point in adding a second VM for QGIS - I can install it in my windows' VM (and get Oracle support out of the box). I just hate the idea.

Hi Matthias, thanks for the heartwarming reply :) I'm on a very demanding project right now - I'll try re-running the make on first opportunity (the latest, during the weekend) and come back with the results. -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-User-f4125267.html ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?
Hi Patrick, thanks for the quick reply. I am not sure how 'far' Linux mint is from Ubuntu. Using either of the Ubuntu-stable or Ubuntugis-unstable repos, I successfully installed QGIS in one single effort. I would expect the same to happen with a plain make, since I use the latest release (so, your second comment means that I shouldn't have any issues?). If I use an Ubuntu box (or VM) and I manage to build QGIS with Oracle support, will I be able to transfer this installation to my box (mint)? Using a dedicated Ubuntu VM to run QGIS is not really an option. I have a mint box with 32GB RAM and already a Windows VM in it (necessary for some tools I use). If all else fail, I'll use OSGEO4W QGIS in windows - and hate myself everyday for that.
