Creating a Map Using Oracle Spatial

Note Make sure you have downloaded the ESRI Shapefile data into the <shapedir> directory before starting this example.

In this example, you are going to see how to use Views Maps to display data contained in an Oracle Spatial Database. For this example, you will need:

• An Oracle 8.1.5 (or 8.1.6) server installed and accessible from your machine.

• An Oracle 8.1.5 or an Oracle 8.1.6 client installed on your machine.

• DB Link 4.1

• The Oracle sample from Views Maps, in <installdir>/samples/maps/oracle.

This example shows how to:

• Create a simple Oracle Spatial layer in the database.

• Display this layer with the Map Builder.

• Display this layer using Load-On-Demand with the Map Builder.
