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 ___

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 al

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

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 o

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

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, you
