DBMS

Top  Previous  Next

These DBMS are supported:

 

MS SQL

Oracle (locator / spatial)

PostgreSQL (with PostGIS extension)

 

All connections are defined by their

 

Server (IP-address / servername)

Database

Username

Password

 

For Oracle XE, use:

server = <server>:<port>:XE

database = XE

 

For SQL Server Express, use:

server = <server>\SQLExpress

 

Passwords are stored in the configuration file, in an encrypted form.

 

If a table has been uploaded to the database from MapInfo, it will automatically look for a mapcatalog and get the correct coordsys string from there, during import.

Without a mapcatalog it will translate the EPSG code into a coordsys string, from an internal lookup list.
