A spatial data cartridge for Oracle8i™ Spatial. MapInfo GIS Extension can be accessed through multiple programming interfaces.

MapInfo® GIS Extension data cartridge lets you add a rich set of spatial functions to Oracle8i Spatial for enhanced spatial analysis capabilities.

MapInfo GIS Extension and Oracle8i Spatial work together seamlessly, providing an enterprise-wide solution to better leverage spatial information. It operates on Oracle's object-relational geometry data-type and is accessible through all programmatic interfaces supported by Oracle, such as OCI, ODBC, JDBC, PL/SQL and SQLJ. Once installed, you gain access to a robust set of SQL functions to meet the growing demands of custom spatial applications.

Create the geometry you want with easy-to-use constructor functions. Use one of eight constructor functions to quickly generate specific geometries, such as a box, circle, three-dimensional point or an even more complex geometry, such as an object with islands.
