I&#8217;d highly recommend you subscribe &#8211; especially if you use Oracle Locator and\/or Oracle Spatial. His latest post is titled &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spatialdbadvisor.com\/oracle_spatial_tips_tricks\/55\/oracle-locator-vs-enterprise-licensing-the-sdogeom-package\">Oracle Locator vs Oracle Spatial: A Reflection on Oracle Licensing of the SDO_GEOM Package<\/a>&quot; and discusses the differences between the <strong>free<\/strong> with <strong>any<\/strong> version of the Oracle database, Oracle Locator and the paid addition to Oracle Enterprise Edition <strong>only<\/strong>, Oracle Spatial.<\/p>\n<p>He goes over licensing, what&#8217;s covered in both products, and even some great workarounds if you only have Oracle Locator but need Oracle Spatial functionality. He&#8217;s even got a number of code examples to help you implement these Oracle Spatial types of functions with ONLY Oracle Locator.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, much like the <a href=\"http:\/\/support.intergraph.com\/Downloads\/Tools.asp?id=692&amp;family_id=1&amp;product_id=286&amp;breadcrumb=family\">free Oracle Object Model scripts and packages available on the Intergraph web site<\/a>, Simon has his own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spatialdbadvisor.com\/source_code\">free packages and code<\/a> available for download on his site. I haven&#8217;t had a need for any of them yet, but definitely nice to know they&#8217;re available. \n\t\t\t              <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite blogs is written by Simon Greener at www.spatialdbadvisor.com.
