Hi Edgar, >Can somebody clarify, how can I install only locator option on >Standard Edition? >By simply running @ORACLE_HOME/md/admin/catmd.sql will I install whole >Spatial option or only Locator? AFAIK locator is embedded in SE/EE. Spatial is a paid option on top of EE. So, installing it on SE might not work too well. Spatial is one of the options to check when running the installer. Just running a cat<xx>.sql won't do the job. To check whether locator is available, you can just look if you can create a table with a column of the SDO_GEOMETRY datatype. I can't check it right now, I'm in the middle of a Linux-kernel upgrade and cannot start an instance at the moment. Regards, Carel-Jan === If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
