<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks to all of you who
responded and your offers of assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>For any of you interested in
working with Oracle you can download Oracle 10g Express here: <a
href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html</a>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>And many people suggested using
the shp2sdo executable to load the shapefiles, but this requires a number of
steps to accomplish. I found Oracle’s Map Builder, which is an executable
jar file, provides an easy click, by click process to import shapefiles. It can
be found here: <a
href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/mapviewer/downloads/index-100641.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/mapviewer/downloads/index-100641.html</a>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The Map Builder download is
sandwiched between the first 2 Map Viewer downloads, kind of hard to see.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I think I spent most of my time
finding the downloads. I found that getting Oracle 10g and Map Builder
installed and wired up together and importing the shapefiles was pretty
straight forward, even though I had never before working with Oracle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>And if someone could shed some
light on the following I would appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>In loading the shapefiles you have
to select a SRID, but Oracle (at least Map Builder) does not have a reference
to SRID 3857. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Does Oracle not support SRID
3857? Or is it by another SRID in their system?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there anyone out there that has experience with Oracle
Spatial Types and access to an Oracle Database that supports the same?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We employ SQL 2008 and I have successfully loaded the features
of 6 shapefiles into SQL, but I need to find out if they will load successfully
into an Oracle database or cause errors.<o:p></o:p></p>
