  • 1.  Do I need a MI_PRINX column in an Oracle Spatial table?

    Posted 10-30-2023 21:30

    Hello all,

    I am building a spatial table in Oracle

    I have a Primary Key column "IDENTIFIER"

    I have a geometry column "GEOMETRY"

    I am trying and failing to open this table in MapInfo v2019, by opening a DBMS connection and opening the table as Live (not Linked)

    Do I need one of the columns to be "MI_PRINX"? I know that used to be a requirement, is it still required?

    Hi Nick

    MapInfo Pro only supports Oracle Spatial through an Oracle Call Interface (OCI). We do not support it through ODBC, unfortunately.

    The primary key column can have any name in a base table. In a view, we only pick up the primary key column if it is named MI_PRINX.

    You can find more details here: Connecting to an Oracle database in a MapInfo Pro application
