Re: MI-L Oracle Spatial - Pros Cons

Hello, one of the cons definitely seems to be lack of support of some MI objects (rectangle, circle...) in Oracle Spatial structure. I guess they are supported by Oracle itself, but could not be used by MI ? I do not know how are experiences and solutions of this problem from other possible users

MI-L MI7.0 build 26 memory leakage?

Dear All, Can some of you confirm my observation that MapInfo 7.0, even after installing patch 7.0.0.2600, has a memory leak on Save Window As or some other statement? My application eats about 1500K at each run and did not do so under version 6.0. Rinus Deurloo University of Amsterdam The

RE: MI-L What's the best way to get Visual Studio .NET?

Of course another option is to download the .NET SDK from MSDN. This includes command line compilers and resources for the .NET framework for free. The draw back is that you do not get the nice fluffy interface and form designers. Sharp Develop will allow you to compile VB.NET applications

FW: MI-L Oracle Spatial - Pros Cons

All Have suggested this before but to repeat - when you are putting data into Oracle you can assume that some of it (e.g. OS data in this country) is effectively static during a working day and can be stored as TAB files with their own update route, or delivered separately (eg as a web service).

Re: FW: MI-L Oracle Spatial - Pros Cons

Hi Paul I could not agree more! The introduction of MasterMap data has got horribly mixed up with a false perception ( my opinion ! ) that you need an Oracle or similar spatial database. I think this has partly come about because MapInfo competition such as ESRI shape files cannot cope with

Re: MI-L Co-ord conversion differences

Hi Sarah There are two aspects involved in converting between BNG and LL. If you are converting LL to BNG then first you need to convert from degrees to the mathematical position of BNG using the appropriate ellipsoid major and minor radii ( ie WGS84 or other ) and the BNG -2,49 origin,

Hi Lawrence, Sounds like your experiences are consistent with my own - the bottom line being horses for courses. Choose your GIS application and your data storage to suit your requirements. Just playing devil's advocate for a minute, though: If you already have 75 MapInfo Pro clients,

Listers, I have an issue that might be easy for some of you, yet it has stumped me. I have established the ODBC connection to Oracle (v. 8.1.6) with MapInfo (v 6.5). Yet I can't seem to see the file again. What I'm trying to do is create objects per each line item. Am I missing something?

Re: MI-L UK OS MasterMap - Can't work with ESRI .shp files?

RE: MI-L Follow up to Geographic Operator Functionality

For the specific case you show, you could do something like (Distance (-79.386803, 43.670368, CentroidX(urban.obj),CentroidY(urban.obj),mi) 2) and (CentroidX (obj) -79.386803) but in the general case, there isn't a straightforward way to do this. Most importantly, you can't express
